The Spirit of the Year at the 2022 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge kicks off our coverage of the top award winners from this prestigious event. Labeled Batch No. 27, it shows great purity and balance on the nose, with notes of vanilla, toffee and oak spice taking the lead. The palate follows through in classic style, and if you’re looking for alcohol burn, you won’t find any here – it’s perfectly balanced from start to finish, leaving a clean spicy vibe lingering long without any sort of over the top heat impression. It’s quite a bargain at this quality level just to top things off. Masterfully assembled by Mike Norman.
