Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish straw gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates quickly. Lemon curd, brett and mineral notes on the nose. More of the same on the palate. Crisp and clean with tart lemon curd that lingers on the finish. Very refreshing and light.

2022 vintage bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a mostly clear ruby to amber with a small bit of pinkish foam that lingers. Cherry skin and stone on the nose with vanilla, oak and notes of lemon. Palate is dry and tart, but the vanilla works well and adds balance. Not overly tart or acidic. Leans dry on the finish with lingering cherry stone and vanilla.

Bottle shared at Brad & Janna's Ferndale Farewell. Pours a dark purple to black with a tiny bit of off-white head that dissipates. Lovely cinnamon and blueberry skin aromas on the nose. Rye whiskey as it warms with oak, blueberry skin and fruit and more cinnamon on the palate. Finishes with a touch of vanilla and more blueberry and cinnamon & rye whiskey notes. Great stuff!
