Tasting Notes

This Limestone Distillery Minor Case Rye finishes in sherry casks, giving it a complex, layered character. The nose reveals dried fruits—figs, raisins, and a touch of orange peel—balanced by vanilla, baking spices, and light oak. On the palate, the sherry influence shines through with rich caramel, nutmeg, and a hint of dark chocolate, all layered over the classic rye backbone of rye spice, cinnamon, and a touch of black pepper. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of dried fruit, oak, and subtle spice that evolve beautifully.
