- T8ke’s Tasting Notes: Gorgeous, opulent, bold, rich. The goal of this blend was to show off bourbon AND sauternes, weaving a complex base bourbon that could integrate further with the tricky and concentrated flavors of Sauternes. The nose is bright, it’s full, it’s exploding: sweet oak, rich pepper, gorgeous butter cream and caramel pops with undertones of apple and brioche, lemon butter and candied pears, decadent sweetness and honeycomb. The palate dials up the oak and spice, full of body and a rich, pillowy, viscous blend of great oak structure, honey comb, apple butter, white grape, a hint of tropical fruit, butterscotch, and building spice. Pepper, ginger, a hint of clove, the oak brings this to balance. Long finish, a wild exit that’s expressive and in-line: brioche meets sweet candied pears, apples, cinnamon, lovely white grape reduction and baking spice, honey comb, butterscotch and an exit full of oak and maple.
Presenting NOBLE: it’s not a series, it’s not an anthology, it’s a love letter from Danny Polise and T8KE to all of you and to Sauternes wine, an opulent, complex, nuanced expression of silly good flavors and incredible releases. It’s the final collaboration to unveil this year and it rounds out a portfolio that T8KE has been building over the last 18 months.
