Additive-Free Alliance Brand
Nose: Light crisp pepper with a nice lemon citrus. Mild cooked emerges as the pour opens up. A pleasant herbal combination of basil, lemongrass, and gentle mint. Palate: Great mouth feel. Very similar to the nose. Velvet smooth lemon and light black pepper off the start. Develops into cooked agave. Good evolution and complexity. Great pour when you can find it.
Lote 69. Thanks Dustin! All of the good stuff as usual. Here are some differences I am noticing: A little alcohol on the aroma. Could be the glass. A good bite of pepper in the mouth. Shorter finish than usual. Still GREAT!

This is my first taste of any of the Winter Blends and I did enjoy this one. The nose is very pleasing. Cooked agave, caramel, oak and vanilla. I get baking spices, molasses and fruits. On the palate, I get caramel and oak. Next comes cooked agave and vanilla. I get black pepper and molasses. A touch of cinnamon. Finish has a bit of alcohol. My biggest knock is on value. For the price you pay for this, there are so many excellent options.
