Distillery: Blaum Brothers Distilling Co.

Its surprisingly enjoyable. Wood-forward but not overwhelmingly so, its got big secondary notes of cloves, ginger, and a hint of menthol to help cut through some of the barrel char. The palate is quite spice heavy, with cloves, ginger, vanilla, and chocolate notes all pushing past the wood to liven things up. Theres ample barrel char and a dusty wood chip character here too, but a little water helps things to settle into more of a spice-forward groove. The finish (at full strength) is hot but soothing, with gingerbread notes and a bold punch of bittersweet chocolate evident. All told, its quite fun and an overall solid showing for what is clearly an up-and-coming distillery.
