• The Schtick: With extreme optimism, together we produced "Transatlanticism". This whiskey is designed to be loud and structured, woody and full of fruit, honeyed with a sense of balance. Only this meeting of the minds could weave together a spirit this bold."
• T8ke's Tasting Notes: 
  • Nose: An orchard on the nose, there's tons of waxed apple, pear, peach, plum and a heavy fig note. Minerality, lemon peel, vanilla cream, decadent malt, honey butter and toffee pair wonderfully, rich and layered. Spice dances on a deeper inhale, blending french oak, black pepper, a hint of ginger, and satisfying richness to pair with the sweet, waxy fruits of the nose. 
  • Taste: The palate is expressive, lively, visous and layered. Raisin bread, turkish delight, butter cake and candied figs sit heavily on the palate, the proof punches with heaviness and density rather than pinpricks, bringing together rich, savory, nutty sweet wine character, a balancing pang of acidity and gobs of rich oak, dates and a wisp of minerality. 
  • Finish: A long, flighty, finish - carries far and wide, deep and decadent. Red currants, apple and orange peel, gorgeous toffees, dates, raisin bread, french oak spice and lovely brioche, minerality and oak. 
  • Overall: It's bold, it's dense, it's rich, and it's the perfect balance of sweet desserts, decadent wine, fresh fruits with an acid punch and opulent, integrated tannin and waxed fruits. This is a special whiskey and one I'm thrilled we brought to life.
