Edition:02 For our second single cask release we worked with another great local distiller. A reserve of the Lot2 Extra Dry vermouth was blended with grape brandy by Alley 6 in Hea ldsburg. The brandy is made from 100% white grapes, and distilled indirect-fire in traditional copper alembic pot stills in order to keep the wonderful aromas of the white wines. The ABV was brought up to 23.5% from 16.5%.The barrel was hand-selected from Iconic Wine's premium Chardonnay program. The barrel was freshly dumped and still wet when the vermouth was added to the barrel. The vermouth was then aged for 12 months before bottling. The final product was bottled unfined and unfiltered directly from cask to bottle by hand. Every bottle is hand-filled, waxed, and numbered. Only 440 Bottles were produced. Profile: The nose opens with seaside brine, heavy cream, and an herb garden's worth of oregano, thyme, and sage. The palate is round and silky, with dried pear, bay leaf, and fennel. Show more
