Nose
Distinctive rickhouse funk with old tool room and woody character. Toffee and orange peel emerge. Allspice present. Lighter than comparative expressions.
Palate
Ripe cherry and dark berry notes jump out immediately. Orange peel carries from the nose. Subtle nuttiness on the tail. Complex and expressive without overwhelming spice.
Finish
Cherry and orange peel linger. Hint of nuttiness on the tail end. Excellent length.
Remarkable
A complex, character-driven pour with distinctive rickhouse funk and bright fruit notes that stand out as exceptional in the lineup.
