Flavor Notes

Rich and oily bourbon characteristic of small craft distilleries is tempered by the clean, sweet, more mature spirit of the old guard. Together they yield a whiskey that’s at once fresh and complex, heavy yet crisp. The pomegranate and green apple of youth play off the pumpkin pie of maturity to create a tipple with a broad spectrum of flavors.

  • Appearance

    Graham cracker

  • Nose

    Heady, ripe stone fruits off the bat, namely white peach and Rainier cherry. The fruit notes seem to merge with the new oak aromas to create chardonnay, cucumber, and red currents on the stem. Blending the distillate from so many producers has yielded a grain character that’s both simple in its reference points and complex in its variety, to wit: sugar cookie, pancakes heaped with butter, lambic, and tortilla chips. The maturity has captured some fresh vegetal aromas of sugar snap pea and sorrel just as they transition into more developed herbal notes of gentian and dill. The oak is just starting to assert itself in the form of maple sap, pistachio, and wintergreen.

  • Palate

    Fresh, almost crisp as tart apple and meyer lemon take the stage. French breakfast radish shades the palate with earthier hues and expands to include oatmeal and pumpkin bread. Some barrel char evolves into a lit clove cigarette. As is typical of smaller distilleries, the texture has a heavy and oily quality, its mouthfeel enhanced by a lightly grippy astringency and rich, sweet molasses.

  • Finish

    Pumpkin pie builds over time, adding in layers of traditional baking spices. Red clover, sunflower seed, and roasted chestnut lend greater complexity.

    With a splash of spring water

    A whole bouquet is thrown from the glass, with stems of rose, lilac, and elderflower. On the palate several different sugary breakfast cereals emerge, as well as sugar-dusted cinnamon gum. Tarragon, fennel seed, and pine needle combine to resemble absinthe which carries on all the way through to the finish.
