  • Aroma: Gingerbread, maple sugar candy, and molasses cookies along with an agreeable amount of alcohol burn on the nostrils. It really smells like so super sweet.
  • Taste: Gingerbread and molasses play off maple sugar candy as the dominant flavor. Sickly-sweet marshmallowy, cotton candy-ish flavors push through towards the end of the sip. The sweetness from the rum casks dominates overall. A trace amount of rye spice is present, but much less so than what would be expected from a 95% rye mashbill
  • Finish: Sugary sweetness lingers. Burnt maple sugar candy and molasses cookies play nicely at first, but then turns back to the sickly-sweet elements hinted on the palate.

Frances Roosevelt’s expressive work draws upon her roots in the Sea Islands of Charleston, South Carolina and her home in Chester County, Pennsylvania to reflect and document the beauty of nature.

Frances explained her painting method: “Typically, I paint from memory in an abstract style. Acrylic paint appeals to me because it dries quickly, allowing the fast buildup of layers and texture. Often I’ll repurpose an old failed painting, allowing pieces of the older work to remain as I develop a new image. When I’m successful, each layer contributes to the mood of the work.”
