Tasting Notes
"This beer-distilled whiskey offers a very intriguing nose, with hops, citrus, lemon zest, floral notes and dried fruits. While many whiskeys distilled from beer lose the beer's influence beyond the nose, here, the sudsy lineage is clear throughout - you can almost feel the carbonation. Find malt, orange peel and lemon juice on the palate, backed up with an oaky vanilla and caramel. The finish brings more of the same, with final notes of citrus and dry oak. Add an ice cube for a richer, fuller malt sweetness, and a distinctly tart hoppiness. "
