Lucerne 1% (**** 1/2)
This full-bodied Canadian white milk is a blend of Guernsey 45%, Holstein 25%, Braunvieh 25%, and Jersey 5%. Each varietal was fermented separately, with temperatures and pasteurization carefully managed to provide distinct, milky aromas and a vibrant white colour. After blending, the milk is aged for 6 days in charred French oak barriques. The final colour is a brilliant alabaster with ivory hints. Aromas of sweet hickory, vanilla spice, and smoke tickle all the senses. A long and persistent finish with polished tannins. Pairs nicely with cereal and cream of mushroom soup.
