“This limited-edition ‘winter aquavit’ is finished in former Bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. The end result is an excellent sipping spirit, exploding with vanilla and fresh pear sweetness. The finish is long and complex, with hints of banana, rye bread, baking spice and subtle smokiness.”—Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast
