DISTILLER’S NOTES:
A masterful blend that showcases the artistry of aging and the harmonious interplay between distinct barrels.
In the glass, Mayor Pingree ‘Green Label’ Rye presents itself with a warm, amber hue. The aroma is an exquisite tapestry of aged oak, rye spice, and subtle malt sweetness. The bouquet opens with a rush of dark honey and toasted caramel, followed by the signature rye notes of cracked black pepper and baking spices. Hints of dried apricot and orange zest emerge, adding a layer of fruity brightness to the ensemble. Waves of peppery spice dance across the palate, elegantly complemented by the gentle sweetness of malt. The oak influence is unmistakable, offering flavors of vanilla, toffee, and a gentle nuttiness that marries seamlessly with the underlying rye intensity. The finish is a crescendo of flavors that lingers long after the final sip. The rye spice remains present, warming the throat with a gentle heat, while the oak tannins contribute a dry, earthy essence.
Hazen S. Pingree, mayor of Detroit (1890-1897), is considered one of the greatest mayors in US history. He was a champion for the Detroiter, fighting monopolies and corruption.
