FLAVOR NOTES

An aroma that captures fall days picking apples, complete with hayrides, dusty barns, and freshly pressed cider. The palate reveals the depth of the older barrels in the blend, layering rich root beer, earthy tea, and seasoned oak. A splash of water unleashes syrupy fruit notes of papaya, mango, and melon.

Appearance: Chestnut.

Nose: Freshly pressed cider at the orchard, brimming with notes of apple blossoms, resinous stems and seeds, honey, and hay. The herbaceous side grows in intensity and depth, developing basil, hyssop, elderflower and fennel seed until it coalesces into green chartreuse. It retains some youthful notes of bread crust, lager, and olive oil. Meanwhile the older stocks bring in ginger ale, fig jam, and a wisp of char.

Palate: Much more focus on the cask here with demerara sugar, tobacco, and Pu'er tea. The richness of that underlying grassy olive oil note is bulked up with maple walnut ice cream. The cider has been mulled with a panoply of barrel-derived spices and the fruit expanded greatly to include peach, pineapple, and green grape. A middling quantity of sandy tannin and some modest heat keep in check the sticky candy character of root beer barrels and licorice candy.

Finish: A burst of blood orange and hibiscus agua fresca gives way to a sweet and savory combination that evokes sugar snap peas and candied yams. Cola lingers for a good while then leave behind only a prickle of black pepper.

With a few drops of spring water

Releases a heady mix of jasmine tea and blackberry. A billow of smoldering pine log gives way to a broader array of fruit including papaya and honeydew melon. Blackberry shows up on the palate too as well as syrupy mango, passionfruit, and cantaloupe. The body takes on a liqueur-like thickness with notes of anise leaf, Corsican mint and génépy.

ABV: 57.67%
