Sasquatch Series 7 - Norte a Durango

Sasquatch Sighting #7 — Norte a Durango is a sipping rye in a category all its own. Barrels are seldom seen in the world of Sotol, so securing them as a finishing element for our rye was no easy task. It was obviously worth the effort as evidenced by the sharp, herbal notes that emerge in this whiskey’s nose, followed by the generous black pepper and powdery cardamon that resolve with purpose across the palate. Stay alert during the finish for a subtle callout to freshly-harvested grain.

Nose - Light and spicy with hints of alcohol warmth and citrus rind.

Palate - Sharp and grassy notes melt into an almost lemon-drop like citrus sweetness, which is kept in check by oak toastiness and notes of crushed black pepper.

Finish - Leaves one with an impression of freshly cut rye and soft ripe.
