Official tasting notes for Found North Batch 010 follow:
Batch 010 does not flit or faulter. It presents a balanced harmony, a chorus of integrated notes that move inexorably from nose to landing to palate to finish. The nose promises a melody of vanilla wafer, toffee and semi-sweet chocolate chips, transporting you to a Sicilian cafe serving affogato over coffee gelato. The countermelody echoes hints of plum, shortbread, rock candy and a sweet resonant whisper of orange zest.
Batch 010 lands with a rumbling cinnamon sugar note, layered upon Irish buttered toast, harkening back to its Batch 005 heritage. The initial creamy texture resolves into a gripping brown sugar viscosity while the crackling wood-spiced tannin emerges towards the finish. The evolving mouthfeel mingles beautifully with notes of fat toasted marshmallow and malted chocolate cake. The lingering finish settles into your chest with spicy honey butter, perfumed mahogany and oiled cedar, before it hits a final reverberant nutmeg and mint note that plunges into the depths of your soul.
Found North Batch 010 will be available through an online ballot open now through October 3rd on the Found North website and in-stores beginning in mid-October for a suggested retail price of $134.99.
