Tasting Notes

"This unaged spirit is aromatically unique and familiar at the same time. Just the slightest hint of anise you might miss if you aren't looking for it. Aromas of broken pine branches, corn fields, apricot and cherry pits dominate. Medium bodied, velvety texture and quite sweet to start, but a welcome heat soon arrives to balance the sweetness. True to the nose with unripe peach and apricot stone flavors joining in. Drink as a digestif as they did traditionally or try in cocktails incorporating honey."
