What Our Editors Thought
“Vivid barrel notes in the aroma, with a vinous flair of fortified wine and cellar must. Big, fruity in the flavor, with burnt cherry and raspberry, chocolate tart, and a woody tannic undertone. Strong raspberry notes linger.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Super-sweet and fruity on the nose, with sherry, cherry, grape, vanilla, buoyed by a warm alcohol wash. The flavor is less sweet, focusing on the fruit, sherry, oak, and alcohol warmth. Finishes with an austere spicy dryness.”
What the Brewers Say
“Aged in PX sherry, amaro, dry vermouth, and blackberry brandy barrels.”
