"Brilliant electric greenish golden color. Pure star anise, fennel, and pink peppercorn aromas. A supple satiny entry leads to a mildly sweet medium-to full-bodied palate with delicate anise cookie, powdered sugar, and mild spice flavors. Finishes with a long, gentle fade of fennel and spice. A beautifully balanced anise liqueur that will excel on its own or in cocktails."

Pure apple brandy, fermented, distilled and aged in single American oak casks, all done on site in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

"Delightfully aromatic, characteristic of its careful three year aging in a combination of new and used barrels of French Oak where its flavors, aromas and colors develop. Don Fulano Anejo maintains the full Blue Agave flavor with very interesting notes of dried fruits, vanilla and nuts, showing finesse that resembles a fine cognac."

"After resting for 12 years in the barrel, Gibson’s Finest Canadian Whisky has reached its point of ideal balance. It has been determined that 12 years of aging is required to bring together the right mix of flavor, aroma and finish characteristic only to Gibson’s Finest. Precise blending of the well-aged deep and mellow corn base whisky with the bold, spicy rye and malt whiskies brings together an ideal symphony of taste experiences. From the selection of grains and fermentation conditions, to craftsmanship and diversity in distillation, through to expertise in aging and blending, every step in the crafting of Gibson’s Finest supports the superior taste of the finished whisky."

Tatsting Notes: Honey, Graham cracker, Clove, Almond, Layers of fresh lemon to the finish with a nice acidity.
