Proof and Wood 7 year old Crossborder Jackpot, 53.5%
The nose is ripe with lemon peel and strong citrus. It turns sweeter the longer you stick with it, veering toward orange marmalade, lemonade, and a bit of wood spice. That lemon follows through to the palate, where it’s joined by a fiery burst of white pepper, vanilla extract, and tangy fruit. The finish is smooth and it lingers on, leaving the lemons behind in favor of vanilla. (4,836 bottles)
