Designed by the Owners Group 5th Edition; it features nearly a ton of domestically sourced black currants, raspberries and strawberries with some locally sourced polyflora honey from right here in Sarasota. Then aged on heavily charred American Oak before spending nearly two additional years in a freshly emptied Wild Turkey “Rare Breed” barrel.
The aromatics are of dark fruit. Some delicate florals and woody character. The color is dark crimson red bordering on black. Optically superb clarity. Long sheeting legs. On the palate I get bold red fruit with some vanillins and woody character. A bit of micro-oxidation leaves a bit of a Port-like finish. Acidity is mild compared to its non-BA predecessor. Overall; it’s pretty enchanting.
