Tasting Notes

Nose

this slowly but distinctly fills the room. Green apples, fresh pears, spring flowers escape from the glass. As you nose the glass you find chardonnay with a soft touch of alcohol. Right at the end of the nose there is the faintest hint of peat smoke.

Palate

Im surprised with the first note its peat. The mouthfeel is round and envelops the palate. The sweetness of the grain comes forward with dry pecans. It is overall extremely delicate and soft, the notes are present but play nicely with one another. They evolve over the tongue and through the finish. The sip just sits nicely in your mouth and fades gradually over a minute or so.

Finish

Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash The suggested retail price is $450, ABV of 48%. pale straw, very light almost yellow
