Macallan 25-Year Sherry Oak

lifted by violet

Combine all ingredients over ice in glass

Pergola is also doing double-duty – it’s a style of farming wherein grapes are planted on high-above-the-head trellises

with integrated acidity and building yet seamless tannins

because this is super serious wine

made from Lacrima and bottled unfiltered

Generously layered and slightly volatile at first

yielding a profoundly intense and age-worthy wine with complex fruit and mineral layers

with something I can only describe as the scent of rain on stone

but we’ve been eagerly awaiting its arrival after tasting it at spirits festivals over the last couple years

and built for patience—very much a Pallus meditation

this is bad – about 75% of wine under the appellation isn’t grown on Kimmeridgian soils
