Balcones Rye, Single Barrel bottled for Total Wine, barrel proof

Nose: Rich chocolate syrup, spiced apple cider, juicy raisins, and a hint of white pepper, with a bold ethanol kick. Palate: Warm and full-bodied with luscious chocolate syrup, vibrant baking spices, and a burst of pepper. Sweet cherry, apple, and raisin peek through, while water smooths the heat for a more refined sip. Finish: Medium-length, rich with dark chocolate and warming spice.

Chocolate, dark Fruit, Tobacco, oak. Stagg Jr. on steroids!
