Corn, brown rice, malted barley
Nose
Sweet with sour skittles, fruity aromas, floral notes, toasted barrel character without marshmallow notes, wood sugars present
Palate
Very sweet, smooth, easy on the palate, no aggressive impact, soft entry, white pepper spice (just a pinch), slight smokiness on the backend, pairs well with charcuterie
Finish
Medium finish, not long, sweetness carries through, some spice remains
Above average
A well-executed rebranding with a new rice-based mash bill that delivers approachable sweetness and smoothness, ideal for summer sipping and pairing with food.
