Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Nose:
Bananas, white grape, light brown sugar, newly turned soil—and boozy. It’s like it can’t help but smell like alcohol.
Palate:
Not terrible. Smooth, easy-drinking. It tasted fiery to my co-taster, but I found it smoother than expected. There’s pride in making this: I respect that. The moonshine DNA is strong in this one. Though it starts smooth, it finishes with a light burn as it makes its way lower. I would drink this…to stay warm? Final Thoughts: It tastes like booze. Like sneaky, illicit booze. That’s not all bad. Sometimes there’s a need. I might try one of the recipes from Ivy Mountain’s website, because it’d make a good mixer—especially in a recipe with lots of ingredients. It’s like the whiskey a high school kid steals from his parents’ liquor cabinet for a party, and when the parents find out, they sort of shrug and say, “At least that’s the one he took.” Score: 73/100 [SHOP FOR A BOTTLE OF LOVELL BROS.
