Amber color. High-flying
breakfast cereal aromas
waft up from the glass, dry
and grainy. In the mouth,
the flavor profile includes
earth/soil, oaky vanilla, sap
and tree bark. Concludes in
a satiny rush that’s appealing
and sophisticated.

Immaculate see-through
appearance. Very faint
fragrance of malt and minerals/
earth in the inhalations.
Ethereally light, balanced

Beautiful burnished orange/
copper color. Ultra-sophisticated
bouquet ascends in waves of
baked apple, spiced apple
and winter holiday cake
aromas that bedazzle the
olfactory sense. Vivid and
clean in the mouth, the flavor
profile highlights the creamy/
oily texture and impeccable
spirit. A masterpiece.
