Caramella or ‘candy’ in Italian is a wheatwine aged in Larceny Wheated Bourbon barrels with apple, cinnamon, and natural caramel flavor added after aging. Just like last year, the sweet smoothness from the Larceny Wheated Bourbon barrels adds a lingering warmth that complements the added flavor nuance. It’s nostalgia-inducing flavors are reminiscent of a caramel apple. Our Lab Tech, Joey Tidei, created this variant as a tribute to his love of seasonal flavors. This luscious embodiment of caramel perfectly paired with a slightly-tart apple flavor will transport you to a crisp autumn day.

0,5l bottle at home shared with Saeglopur. Vintage 2020. BB 02/Sept/2025. brown color, small off white head. smells like apple strudel, cinnamon, apples, some vanilla, tad medical, bit boozy. nice to very nice smell. full body, light carbonation. tastes of cinnamon, apples, speculoos, marzipan, nutty, spices, peppery, some sweetness, light cloves, heavy on the spices, some chocolate notes, some warming alcohol. finishes sweet with notes of spices, apples and light chocolate notes. nice one overall, also quite heavy, a lot going on, but balance is not totally convincing, a tad artificial. overall this is very good though.

It’s like siping on a boozy candy apple. I’m loving this one! Perfect marks - this may be my favorite Bourbon County I’ve had to date.
