Keeper's Heart Irish + American, 43%

Shortbread cookies, hay, soaked corn, and barley form a base that apple Jolly Ranchers, fruit snacks, orange blossom tea, and a hint of rose water sit atop. The combination is sweet and slightly savory on the nose, but the palate leans into the sweetness with apple-cider doughnuts, vanilla creamer, and honey. The finish is straightforward and fairly short, with shortbread, vanilla, and hay shining through.
