Sampled first at the Brewhouse in Anchorage on Father's Day. It is an impressive offering for such a young Distillery; very smooth, nice legs, sweetness of the Corn, mellowed by aging, hints of vanilla & caramel, touch of cherry, slight note of licorice, and a warm lingering finish. If you can find a bottle, buy it. I found myself one, and it required a search. **** or an 86, if you prefer.

As described when tasted neat. Good heat on the palate and nice finish. Stonefruits and vanilla come through well. Adding water gives it a brings out the vanilla and mellows just a bit, the heat still comes through. May be hard to find outside of Alaska, but worth a try if you see it!
This tastes very unfinished to me. A step or two away from moonshine. Very harsh.
Strong but good flavor
