Cedar Ridge’s Murphy Quint blended this American Single Malt from a combination of Amontillado Sherry, Tokaji, Moscatel, and Pinot Noir wine casks. The nose has red grapes, fresh berries, peaches, brown sugar, and honey. The taste has notes of plums, Christmas cake, allspice, raisins, peaches, and brown sugar. The finish is long and dry with lingering spice and fruits. (December, 2024)
