Selection: None – General Release
ABV: 46% ABV

Nose: Honey and brown butter, brown sugar, red berries, cherry and a hint of oak, vanilla and paper.
Taste: Moderate palate, red berries, cocoa vanilla bean, toffee, sweet oak. Prickle of pepper and a hint of ethanol. Pleasant oak. Big jammy berry.
Finish: Short finish, fun and fruit driven with a bit of oak and some pepper.
Overall: This is a really fun pour but could use a little more oomph or something. It’s fruity, it’s fun, it’s layered, and it’s honestly darn good but a couple proof points could make this an absolutely banger.
Thanks for reading!
