Wednesday, January 24, 2024 - nine days, nine years in reverse; 1/19/2024-1/27/2024 (lake erie basin): 10% abv. AP 7. 62°F. NOSE: initially, sharp and hissing, with lemon oil and broken shale. After adjustment and air comes tender, humid, apple blossom petal confetti ankle-deep. Behind that, there is a surge of deep ocean saline, black cherry jam, cress/goosefoot/angelica, and milled oats. MOUTH: an electrified bony spine shrouded in sweet herbs, meyer lemon, green apple, mulling spice, and dashi. It pulses with determination, strewing organized action around the approximately linear path of the drinking event. Lithic, appetizing bitterness joins lemon-peel acid to impose a decisive, dry balance. SUMMARY: radiant clarity of flavor; muscular and restless. The last few drinks are crystaline laminar fluid folded over jagged stone—blimey. Peak bottle age won't come until after 2026.
