Bluegrass Distillers Limited Release Toasted Oak, 50%

This is a bona fide bowl of red fruit on the nose, with raspberries, strawberries, cranberries, and bing cherries blossoming in the glass. A hint of cinnamon stick and Necco Wafer tempers the fruit, though the palate (which is quite hot) brings fruitiness back to the forefront—buckle up for more ripe red berries. The finish takes a turn, as baking spices and medium-roast coffee jump out. (8,000 bottles)
