Review by Barrell

Colour

Clear edges with gossamer legs meld into a golden honey with a veneer of rose gold and terra cotta.

Nose

Piping hot cornmeal Hush Puppies liberally sprinkled with confectioners sugar. Notes of Cavendish tobacco and bourbon barrels give way to a lush cherry preserves aroma.

Palate

A sharp burst of corn soufflé dissipates into honey graham cracker crusted pecan pie tartlets. The 114.8 proof provides for a multi-minute finish of hot stone fruit crumble.

Finish

Hot puff pastry filled with stovetop griddled bacon and a touch of dry Burgundy mustard.

Conclusion

Raw honey drenched Bing cherries atop toasted sweet corn pudding. Hearty Russian Rye toast soldiers sprinkled with sea salt slathered in maple butter and summer fruit compote. The rich and flavorful grains plunge into soft creaminess and recollects state fair caramel popcorn in the finish, belying the 114.8 proof heat.
