Kinda smells like a fart / weak NYC sewer smells...the good news is the palate tastes much better than the Spirit smells. Spicy and medium-light peat. — 5 years ago

9.1

Golden raisin, strawberries, figs, cut red apple, sweet potato, lemon-dill, oregano, smoke and an almost sweet peat smell as sherry shoulders in. Orange is the backbone, from pure squeezed, to zest, oil and pith. Toast, cedar, humidor, and nougats with roasted almond and cashew from the oak. Very smooth and sensuous mouthfeel with immediate expansion of vanilla, mocha, toffee, and finally a shimmering cinnamon with tiny sparks of heat. Secondary voices of pencil, oregano, crepe caramel, lemon peel, shaved chocolate, buffalo grass that burns into a long finish, with jalapeño-turned-peat. This is extraordinary. I know they are coopering their own barrels on site, and I think it is making a fine whisky even finer. Kudos for this magical glory. — 5 years ago

Beauregard Vineyards
2016 Sparkling Apple Wine (first release)
Appellation: Ben Lomond Mountain

Sight is Hazy, med yellow-gold, with well integrated bubbles. Scent is clean, apple with (-)med accents of Brett and barrel. Off-dry, no noticeable tannin, 9% ABV, clean and bright apple flavors with a touch of yeast and barrel accents. Good mouth feel with cleansing small bubbles. Med+ finish. Very good, drink now, multi-bottle purchase.

Great job Beauregard, looking forward to future vintages!

Mild peat. Not complex, but no bad at all. Moderate spice on the finish. This distillery seems to deliver a decent product on the lower end of the single malt scotch price spectrum. — 5 years ago
