Blanche: Fruity aroma of fresh apples, with hints of citrus and licorice also on the nose. The taste is crisp, with sweet apple notes on the palate progressing into a refreshing and slightly bitter finish, with subdued notes of wood mingled in.
Aged 2-3 years. Crisp apple aroma, but there’s plenty of heat here as well. The body offers tart apple (think Granny Smith), lemon peel, some floral elements, and a touch of wood on the back end. Rustic, almost pastoral. This is clearly young stuff, particularly on the slightly rubbery and lightly vegetal finish, but it still drinks well. I’d consider it primarily for cocktailing, sipping neat in a pinch. 80 proof. B / $55
