Description

Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 93
Clean and likable aromas of black-cherry sorbet, light pepper and sumac are fresh and fun on the nose of this bottling. The palate is bright with ripe blackberry flavors, but a woody grip and vanilla-bean element on the midpalate ensures both quick pleasure and a long life.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips

Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
