- T8ke's Tasting Notes: Ok, we get it. You get it, I get it. I like Sauternes and sweet wines. Both were evident and representative in T8ke-01 and T8ke-02. T8ke-03 strays a bit from that DNA and heads in a fresh and new direction: blending both moderate and highly aged corn and rye and then finishing with new wood and red wine. The result is a playful and respectful understanding between the sledgehammer that is fresh oak (what folks are using to create double oaked whiskeys) and the vibrant punch of red wine character and the acidity required to hold these bold influences in balance. The result is a behemoth, a gargantua of character that relies less on age and more on character to drive a delicious storytelling. Oak, cocoa, creme brulee and icing pop on the nose with a hint of grating spice: pepper, clove, a hint of saffron and sweet cider. The palate develops with blackberry, cherry, a crackle of pepper, sweet oak, fat cocoa, balanced against moderate tannin, and a sneaky proof. Long finish with exceptional hold, combining heavier oak, dark fruit, a crackle of spice and gobs of savory red wine character.
