Peggy Noe Stevens
Nose
Soft pear and yellow apple with simple syrup and ginger. Enhanced with a grassy frame and subtle oak and floral notes.
Palate
Buttery texture. The ginger becomes pronounced, then soft white pepper and apple. Chips of oak surround a sweet array of light white sugar.
Finish
Elegant and approachable. Wood sugar and ginger reveal themselves again.
Comments
A truly relaxing sip that does not overpower, but actually invites you in.
Score
8.0

Nose
Merest suggestion of apples or pears with some light brown sugar and vanilla frosting.
Palate
Initially sweet with fruit, then a herbal note of tobacco, like a new, unlit cigar. This becomes light oak.
Finish
Very quickly fades to oak and light pepper, which is the note that lasts the longest until that too fades into a lingering warmth.
Comments
Simple sip. While lacking complexity, it certainly doesn’t have any flaws. Quite pleasing for fans of drier whiskey.
