Evidence Summary
Independent coverage published October 6 reports a 120.8-proof release, a 75% corn/13% rye/12% malted-barley mash bill, no label age statement but a producer-disclosed minimum of 12 years, fall retail availability, and a $300 MSRP.
Flavor Observations
The article reports a notably earthy and rye-spiced character alongside apple, baked fruit, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, pepper, and oak; these concepts remain source-level notes rather than master profile prose.
