Product type: Unaged grape brandy/eau de vie

ABV/Proof: 41% ABV 82 proof

Mash bill: Chardonel grapes, fresh dill, yeast. No additives, chemicals, essences, or sugar.

Sourced: Chardonel grapes from Hermann, Missouri

Tasting Notes: The Chardonel grape is a cross between the Seyval and Chardonnay grapes, with hints of pear and apricot, giving this spirit a hint of sweetness on the back note. The infusion of fresh dill is introduced for 2-3 days just before final proofing and adds a fresh botanical kiss to the aroma and flavor.

About the product: The influence of terroir is behind the complexity found in this cross between a grappa and a wine brandy. By using unpressed Chardonel grapes along with stems, this spirit will surprise you with its soft, rounded character. But the real distinction is the infusion of dill, giving it a discrete botanical quality. An excellent choice for an aperitif splashed over Prosecco or substitute for gin or aquavit. And if Scotch is your spirit of choice, take a moment to sip on this unaged beauty. Its savory side will convince you there's more to explore beyond the barrel.
