Clear color. Aromas and flavors of parchment paper, black pepper, spun sugar, and carnations with a silky, crisp, dry thin body and a tingling, amusing, medium-length finish with suggestions of vanilla, spun sugar, rose water, and pepper. A clean and easy sipping distillate with a lightly floral and peppery flavor and just a touch of heat on the finish.

Low-Alcohol Spirit

Low-alcohol spirits are ones in which the alcohol has generally been reduced to 10-30% ABV, usually under the guise of being a healthier, more sessionable alternative to its full alcohol siblings. In combination with the emergence of the sobriety trend, low alcohol spirits have been growing in acceptance and continue to increase in availability.
