Tasting Notes
"Clear and sugary corn aromas are most apparent in the nose, along with plenty of raw distillate. On the palate, the flavors are round and surprisingly plentiful. Supple notes of barely ripe pear and honeydew melon intermingle with some savory bright spices. The high proof doesn't overpower with heat. Instead it carries this weighty and almost chewy moonshine to a satisfying finish. "
