With a delicate blush color from the pinot noir casks, this is a confident whiskey led by pot still spiciness. A nose of cumin, coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove is balanced with green apple, strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. Warm, juicy flavors of red apple, cranberry sauce, and cherry are present on its weighty and chewy texture. Pepper, clove, nutmeg, and crushed seashells offer a hint of salinity that cries out for a cheese pairing.</p>
