Bottle Shop Series #2: Highball Drifter

There’s a new sheriff in town – meet Highball Drifter, a barrel-aged sipper inspired by our favorite bourbon-based cocktails. The second entry in our Bottle Shop Series, Highball Drifter presents aromatics of caramel and vanilla, dried fruit and spice while hints of cherry and bitter orange peel whisk you away like a tumbling tumbleweed. Call us old-fashioned, but we think you’re going to love it. 11% ABV.

Toasted and sweet malty with lots of caramel and fudge sweetness, plethora of dried fruit shred, nice spices, full bodied, laced through with vanilla and bourbon into the warming sweet malty finish. Lovely.
