Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Clear pale gold with hints of straw, bright and translucent.
Nose
Clean and crisp with green apple, white pepper, and subtle grass notes. Hints of citrus zest and a whisper of toasted grain emerge with water.
Palate
Light and elegant on the palate with green apple, lemon citrus, and crisp grain flavors. White pepper spice builds gradually without overwhelming. A touch of vanilla and subtle wood influence provides structure.
Finish
Short to medium finish with lingering citrus and white pepper that fades into dry grain and subtle oak.
