Sweet notes from corn-containing mashbills balance the heat, while various wood influences add layers. Mid-palate reveals the blend’s genius with seamless transitions between different rye expressions. The texture shows careful proofing that preserves flavor while ensuring smoothness. The finish is long and complex, with different components taking turns to shine like stars appearing at dusk.
