Nose: Sweet, slightly chalky orchard fruits, somewhere between an apple and an asian pear. Sea salt caramel, a touch of proof heat. Heat steaming off of pretzel crusts
Palate: Mouthfeel is the first thing to hit, and it’s delicious. Starts creamy then adds some effervescence and champagne notes. Roasted corn opens up with a moderate proof hit. Baked vanilla and soaking brioche for French Toast. Sultana. sweetness with a bright, acidic wine overtone that lightens the pour.
Finish: Effervescent yet coating, leaving the vinous and vanilla notes to lacquer the palate on a medium-to-long finish.
