Price: 65 Issue: Fall 2024 Reviewer: Shane English Category: Single Malt American Whiskey

Floral and fruity, an inviting nose opens with roses, orange blossom, lime zest, and lemonade, all braced by a light salinity and minerality. Stone fruits and berries lead the way on the palate, with depth coming from savory and bready accents. While the spicy notes are subdued, there’s a light clove and peppercorn spice that lingers through the finish, which is otherwise lively and fruity.
