True Story Straight Rye Whiskey Finished in Amburana & Sherry Casks

Appearance:
Deep amber with reddish-golden glints—a rich, inviting hue hinting at complexity.

Nose (Aroma):
Waves of warm baking spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—roll forward first, followed by golden honey, toasted brown sugar, and a burst of dried fruit: raisin, fig, and apricot. Underneath it all, a whiff of pepper and seasoned oak grounds the sweetness.

Palate (Taste):
Vibrant and mouth-coating. The rye’s classic peppery bite leads off, followed by a swirl of rich caramel, molasses, and dark fruit. The Amburana wood shines through with a nutty, spiced warmth—cinnamon toast, vanilla, and a hint of sandalwood—while the sherry casks contribute a velvety layer of fig jam, prune, and roasted almond.

Finish:
Long and evolving. Spiced oak, stewed fruit, and honeyed nuts carry on with a gentle warmth. As it fades, a lingering trace of cinnamon and raisin sweetens the tail end—bold yet graceful.
