Nelson's Green Brier Nelson Brothers Reserve Blend of Straights, 53.9%

Blueberry pancakes, French toast, and waffles with syrup support aromas of banana, cinnamon, and jelly donuts. The fruity confectionary notes continue on the palate but the spice is amped up and peppery, with a rich mouthfeel. The sweetness is tempered with custard-filled pastries drizzled with raspberry syrup. The finish is of moderate length and a touch hot, but nicely balances spiced oak, chocolate croissant, and berries. (100,000 bottles) No.10 in Top 20 of 2022.
