There’s oak in the background, but it’s more akin to sticking your head in a bag of rye bread.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHowever, the palate deviates from that singularity and moves into a balance of sweet baking spices, toasted oak, rye grains, and a lovely sweetness from the wood. The finish is like a warm blast of all that goodness you get to revisit after every sip: cloves, brown sugar, cinnamon. The more I drink it, the more I want to keep drinking it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJim Rutledge was the first master distiller I met when I started in the industry, and I’ve always admired both his character and his whiskies.
