The Gospel Solera Rye 42.5% 700mL
🥃 The Gospel Solera Rye is a rye whisky that merges American style with an easy-going Australian attitude. Crafted using 100% Australian single-sourced rye grain, this whisky offers a unique character shaped by its solera maturation system.

The profile is smooth yet complex, featuring notes of caramel, spice, and orchard fruits. The solera system maturation results in a creamy caramel palate and a long, rich finish.
