$50 MSRP
Mash Bill 1
Nose
Cinnamon, caramel, brown sugar, oak, leather with a saddle shop quality, and a little dark cherry fruit.
Palate
Oak steps forward with a sizzle of higher proof. Stout and warming with a meaty, barbecue-forward quality that coats the palate and hits every taste bud. Cherry pops out, brown sugar, and allspice on the tail end.
Finish
Substantial hug with a compressing sensation in the chest and sternum, delivering deep warmth rather than just throat burn.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A solid, well-crafted batch with excellent structure and a distinctive meaty character that pairs well with barbecue and steak.
