I always appreciate a take on a beverage that lands on the “here’s what “x” can be side of things – one that pushes boundaries and creates something that’s not only new, but worthy of wider recognition. While this offering might put some traditionalists off, it is thoroughly enchanting regardless of category and has the potential to win over those who think that grappa is on the more unapproachable side of the spirits world. It initially presents like a fine barrel aged gin, emphasizing citric notes and wood tones. It shows its traditional edge in the finish, where true grappa rusticity comes forward without any harshness. Let’s call it the softer side of grappa, and let’s call it a winner! Bonus: It’s beautifully packaged for gifting. 96
