1792 Ridgemont Reserve
Nose
A palate of sweet honey and vanilla tones is balanced with orange and spice, hinting at the relatively high rye content. A few minutes in the glass lets the nose open up nicely. A distinct woodiness sits in the background.
Palate
Quite tannic and fairly peppery, with a heavily woody flavor profile. A hint of maple is noticeable, but more than anything, what stands out is the dry, tongue-coating mouthfeel.
Finish
Oak predominates on a long, but drying, nearly hot finish. Some vanilla also peeks through.
