Description and specs

Blended from just 28 barrels, this 7-year-old rye is the most limited release in the Vertical Series to date. A lively nose of caramel, orange zest, cedar, and clove move to a powerful palate of chocolate, root beer, cardamom, and tobacco.

The Vertical Series explores the true impact of age on a whiskey s character by following a single group of MGP barrels as they mature from four to 12 years. With each vintage, the proof is set to best showcase the unique attributes of that year s blend. This unprecedented series of annual limited releases lets whiskey lovers experience the arc of flavors throughout a nine-year journey.

“The nose is particularly fresh and minty, with additional notes of pumpernickel toast, clove, and jasmine green tea in the background. Spearmint also dominates the palate, offset by toasted fennel seeds, oregano, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper. More of the that brown bread flavor comes through in the finish, which is toasty, spicy, and slightly hot.” – Amanda Schuster, Distller
