Death's Door Spirits... Brian Ellison/Premier Cru

The most dangerous section of Lake Michigan is known as Death's Door. and here is where the grain is grown.

Vodka wheat and barley... sweet on the palate..it says sweet cream flavors and I can see that... good acidity.

Gin only uses 3 botanicals... juniper, fennel and coriander, sweet and fennel on the palate.. i can see this going into some of the more new style old cocktails/

White Whiskey 80% wheat and 20 barley... distilled twice.. interesting nose of saki almost teqiula without the lime hints.. again sweet flavors a little banana on the end.. done in oak that comes through the very end... the oak is very minimal though... very.. 72 hours or so.
