Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Pale gold with a slight green tint; unpeated spirit showing clean American oak influence
- Nose
- Melon, dragon fruit, sticky tree buds. Vinous note like Californian chardonnay. Malty with walnuts, peanuts, wood dust. Butter cookies, light vanilla, pepper, dried grassy notes
- Palate
- Creamy and fruity — star fruit, apple, pear, grapefruit, pepper, anise, vanilla, cashew, peanut. Very nutty: hazelnuts, toasted almonds, caramelized walnuts. Cloudy worts create a nutty, green-apple character
- Finish
- Medium finish with lingering nut and vanilla. Oak influence shows as wood dust and pepper. Clean and grain-forward without any smoke
