This decadent Rye Wine, aged in Willett Bourbon barrels, presents a complex marriage of spicy rye grain and lush blackberries. A deep garnet pour reveals aromas of honey-drizzled bread, spicy oak, and dark berry preserves. On the palate, the chewy texture of the rye and wheat base is punctuated by vanilla and caramel from the barrel, while the blackberries offer a tart, jammy counterpoint to the malt's sweetness. Smooth alcohol warmth carries notes of toasted oak and dark fruit through a lingering, velvety finish. It is a richly textured, high-gravity sipper defined by its intricate layering of fruit, wood, and grain.

Appearance. Deep amber with distinct ruby and garnet highlights from the fruit; low, creamy off-white head with a faint pinkish tint; brilliant clarity with visible legs indicating high viscosity.

Aroma. High intensity; rich bready and spicy rye malt character with notes of honey and caramel; prominent dark blackberry fruitiness; significant barrel influence providing vanilla, toasted oak, and a touch of bourbon; clean alcohol presence.

Taste. Moderate-high bready wheat and spicy rye malt flavor; dominant blackberry fruitiness with a slight jammy tartness; low to moderate bitterness providing a malty balance; complex bourbon-derived vanilla and oak tannins; lingering finish of dark fruit and toasted grain.

Mouthfeel. Full body with a thick, chewy, and velvety texture; low carbonation; noticeable but smooth and well-integrated alcohol warmth; very low wood-derived astringency.
