Brother Justus Founder's Reserve (2025 Release), 62.5%

Distilled in Minnesota from pale ale malted barley and aged in new local oak, it has an interesting nose of vanilla, marzipan, almond paste, hazelnuts, and bruised fruit. The palate is
hot and intense, with baked pears, Golden Delicious apples, dates, chai spice, nutmeg, and autumn leaves. More pear, applesauce, and spice carry through the finish, ending on a high
note.
