The O yeast contributes a rich-fruit direction to the higher-rye recipe.

Pairing & serving

Taste neat, then add a few drops of water. Pair with dried fruit and aged cheddar. No decanting is needed.

After opening & when to enjoy

Keep upright, tightly closed, away from heat and sunlight. The spirit is ready to enjoy and does not continue barrel aging in the bottle. After opening, aim to enjoy within about a year for the freshest aroma, especially as the bottle empties.
