Really nice balance of funk and fruit, acidity and sweetness, delish. Bit of herbalness, bit of vanilla from the barrel, lots of flavor.

Bottle at Weathered 2022, pours a clear amber red with a small white head. Aroma brings out light bourbon, pithy blackberries, and some wild bugs. Flavour is loaded with blackberries and bourbon, with nice bugginess, oak, and light acidity. Integrated, expressing the bourbon nicely with the blackberries. Excellent.

A pour at I hope not a super spreader event Weathered. Last pour from the bottle. Appearance: hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: bourbon and creamy peaches, not sure about blackberries. Taste: along the same lines, some acetone, low to moderate acidity. Overall: good, but not up to the standards of HM.

Bottle at Weathered. Hazy gold with small white head. Brett, light berry, oak. Something about the flavours is in conflict, but still decent.
