Tasting Notes
This complex spirit invites you in with a nose of sweet, light caramel and smoked delight. On the front, you’ll taste smooth campfire, a hint of green pepper, and tangy-sweet apricot. The finish lingers with smoked raw cinnamon and a creamy vanilla close—a truly luxurious experience from first sip to last.

Artist Meet & Greet with Jolt: Label Signing from 4–7 PM What truly sets this release apart is its one-of-a-kind label artwork, created by none other than Jolt of Guerilla Garden—a renowned graffiti writer, fine artist, muralist, and proud 4th-generation Denver native. Jolt’s art captures the soul of community, authenticity, and heritage. He’ll be joining us at State 38 Distilling from 4–7 PM on release day to sign bottles —a collector's dream.
