Lakisha Mccabe
4.0
A tribute to a co-founder and head distiller, this very peaty expression from Westland is a powerhouse of flavor. Notes of coal smoke, raspberry dust, and aged electronics emerge from the glass, making way for almonds, red currants, and spearmint. Unusual and lively notes also appear. A spicy burst of wood spices, crushed berries, and earthy peat smoke begins the palate. Adding water enhances sweet and tart flavors. Baked apples, licorice, and a whisper of ash lead into the smoky finish. This fascinating spirit competes with any Balcones! RATING: 4.0/5.0 stars ≙ 88 pts → FIRST-CLASS
