Going to keep this is in the rotation - about to head out for a week long golf trip to RTJ Trail… will be bringing this beauty along for the ride. Oh so smooth, mellow, woody, decadent subtle spices, sweet vanilla. Impressive depth & richness and did I say smooth? Wears the 90 proof very well. 74 corn/18 rye/8 malted barley — a year ago

Delicious alongside a classic Gaspé Nova on rye from Russ & Daughters. A worthy and appropriate pairing, as both are top-quality choices from producers who started as mavericks and developed into respected and loved institutions.
Very elegant and refined, mousse is tingly rather than creamy but not aggressive or unpleasant. Classic blanc de blanc firm structure, citrus/brioche character. A very compelling bottle.
• 100% estate-grown chardonnay from Short Hills Bench, hand-picked

This is the shit. Barrel proof so add some ice to cut the heat. Wonderful vanilla and viscosity with still bright spice and floral notes even after 8 yrs — 9 years ago
