- rich and sweet; honey and vanilla first, then black tea, strawberry, fresh cinnamon, coconut and toasted almond, with a little char and herbs
- finish
- intense tea leaf with a thread of honey, cinnamon spice lingering beside a dried-flower note

60% corn, 20% heirloom wheat, 10% heirloom rye, 10% heirloom malted barley. The three small grains are heirloom varieties grown for Laws by two Colorado family farms, and the mash is fermented open-air as a sour mash. It is the same four-grain recipe Laws uses for its flagship bourbon.

Why it's craft
This bottle is a loop between a distillery and a beekeeper: Laws' emptied bourbon barrels go to a local apiary to hold Colorado honey, then come back to Denver to age more four-grain bourbon. Laws distills all of its whiskey on site from Colorado-grown corn and heirloom wheat, rye and barley. Al Laws founded the distillery in 2011.
