Seth Lyon July 20, 2019 Tequila 80 Proof, Hiatus, Tequila

This newcomer has a honey hue and distinctly savory aroma that suggests sun-dried tomato, fresh thyme and agave nectar. The soft, slick palate echoes those savory notes, layering in hints of fresh herbs, unsweetened chocolate, black olive and bell pepper. Overall, it’s complex and delicious.

The pure appearance and substantial body result from age old methods used in the production process. The finished aroma is natural and robust; a combination of agave, mesquite and ocote. Earthy characteristics on the front palate give way to citrus and rich vegetal agave notes that finish distinctively clean. A tinge of smoke complements these […]

Basil Hayden Caribbean Reserve Rye

8.34 / 10

Seth Lyon July 20, 2019 Whiskey 80 Proof, Basil Hayden Caribbean Rye, Rye Whiskey

Due to the low proof and the fact that the molasses scent is so dominating, it would be hard to discern what this is if handed to you blindly. The nose shows […]
