Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Pale straw gold with a yellow tinge; light body, thin legs
- Nose
- Gentle floral notes (citrus blossom, lavender), dried apricot, light peach, honey, vanilla, touch of fresh oak, browned butter quality
- Palate
- Light-bodied but flavourful with warm caramel, vanilla, honey, orchard fruit (apple, apricot, peach), corn sweetness, gentle rye spice, floral base throughout
- Finish
- Surprisingly long for the proof — brown sugar, caramel, vanilla, mellowing spice, fruit and floral notes fade gently
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
Maturation
The wood it came through
- New charred American oak barrels — blend of all 10 recipes (2 mash bills x 5 yeast strains)
