TBRC Greensand Ridge Distillery

I did things a little differently here as I had a bottle of the apple brandy that had previously been in the rum cask. So I'm tasting them together to see what carried over. The rum definitely has some of the floral notes from the apple brandy but much more subdued. Specifically, I picked up notes of rose with a burst of grapefruit and something earthy in the background. The taste is definely influenced from the apple brandy cask. Lots of notes it'd expect from a fruit brandy. Floral like the nose but with the addition of ginger and a little peppery. The finish is round but quite short. The floral and earthy notes from the nose are back. Overall, it's a bit spirity for my tastes. I'd like to see how this would have tasted after a longer maturation time. Its definely interesting. The Apple brandy is nice too if that's your thing. Very floral and fresh.

Die Nase ist fast grappaartig mit alkoholischen Noten und einem Hauch von Zitrone und Kirsche. Der Mund ist leicht, wie die Farbe vermuten lässt, aber mit einem gewissen Grad an hartem jungem Brennen und echten Pfeffernoten. Der Abgang ist unauffällig, mit mehr Malz und etwas grünen Pflanzennoten. Mit der Zeit und je länger man sich mit ihm beschäftigt, desto mehr verblasst er ein wenig zur Mittelmäßigkeit.
