We also offer analysis on the creation of the beverage as well as any interesting points that make it unique.

Blue Nectar Founder’s Blend Añejo, 100% Agave Tequila
Brilliant, deep copper color. The nose is filled with the scents of charred oak and sweet baked agave with supporting notes of sweet toffee, vanilla, and hints of pickle barrel. The palate is in agreement with the nose delivering a sweet fruit and toffee core flanked by astringent wood notes that envelope the baked agave was more aggressive than anticipated. Full-bodied with loads of spice and a very sweet, fruity core.

Lost Distillery Co. Stratheden Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
Brilliant golden color. The nose is complex and expressive with waves of apple and pear married with dried fruits, Sherry, orange peel, and dry caramel with supporting notes of orange peel, leather, and oak. The palate echoes the nose delivering a soft, fruit-driven core with brown baking spices and mineral rising on the back palate presented with a bright dose of acidity and sweet oak finish. Medium to full-bodied with an incredible number of layers of flavors conspiring to create a complex malt with great balance.

Medium to full-bodied with rich caramel and toffee flavors balanced perfectly with bright citrus-like acidity.
