Category: American Single Malt Whiskey

Gold color. Aromas and flavors of brown butter sautéed herbs, course black pepper over warm caramel, and hop pellets with a satiny, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, delightful, medium-length finish with elements of butterscotch dipped grilled poblano pepper, bamboo shoots in sesame oil, and honey grams. A curiously spicy and herbaceous nose with a Whiskey body come together to create a delicious Whiskey and Añejo Tequila mashup.
