A brand new release that I don't think has even gone public yet but it's tasty. Okanagan Spirits takes a citra hopped IPA mash and distill it, then distill an apple eau de vie. They combine 90% of the IPA whisky and 10% of the apple eau de vie and distill once more, then age for 5 years in American Oak. A balancing act of whisky, apple and hops with an amazing subtle vanilla oak backbone.
Alcohol - 42% / 84 proof
Color - Light copper orange with golden edges
Nose - Apple and vanilla hit you first. then hops and whisky
Taste - The whisky is the backbone to this, strong and spicy with the apple, hops and oak all connected and balanced
Finish - Spiciness of the whisky, sweet apple and the punch of grapefruity hops
Best Enjoyed - Neat, but would love to try it in a sour
