Nose

Gentle scents of tobacco are accompanies by notes of caramel with a final light touch of tonka beans

Taste

When sipped, the wood component supports the notes of tobacco, which strike a good balance with the hints of dried fruit. The finish has a pleasant oxidized aroma

Remarks

Up to 2013 Teo aged this extraordinary oxidized beer in barrels that had previously hosted great rums or whiskies. Thereafter, he has tried to infuse his creature with the soul of a typically Italian product, which however has nothing to do with the world of food and drinks. The result is an extremely intriguing and captivating version of Xyauyù.

Aspect

Xyauyù Kentucky 2018 has a clear color, reminiscent of a classic “monk’s tunic”, and has no head and no carbonation.
