The Tasting Panel 97 Points | This 90-proof whiskey from Sonoma County pays homage to the humungous trees that grow along California’s northern coast. Sumptuous scents of salted orange peel give way to an impressive weightiness on the palate, where sea salt and bittersweet chocolate intertwine with nutmeg, exotic blue flowers, and caraway. Stone fruit makes a lovely entry on the finish. 

The Wine Advocate 92 Points | Aromas of fresh grain, red berries, dried cherries, and fresh-cut lemon, overall a very fresh and lively nose that is beautifully fragrant and redolent of fresh morning fields. The palate is equally fresh, with balanced notes of red fruit, iced tea, and vanilla. The finish is quite long, with more vanilla, and lemon sorbet, balanced by savory espresso. A smooth but complex rye with depth and lively flavors, but easy to savor.

Crafted with a robust high-rye mash bill, it delivers bold spice while maintaining a surprisingly soft mouthfeel. The palate reveals deep notes of tobacco and malt balls, culminating in a long-lasting, satisfying finish.

Producer Description

Dreamy Clouds is quite special because its milling rate of 59% technically qualifies it as Junmai Ginjo grade - a rare quality level for a nigori (cloudy) sake. It presents an opportunity to move Nigori drinkers forward to new styles of sake.

Bright and lean in the mouth, unlike many Nigori, and the impact is chewy with sweet rice flavors intermingling with the nutty and slightly fruity characteristics of the sake.

Pair with spicy noodle dishes, risotto, or white fish.

The palate is sweet and smooth, with cocoa, orange and honey flavors and a sensuous, viscous texture. It finishes long and smooth.

Expert Reviews

Wine Enthusiast 85-89 Points | Pale flax hue is perfectly free of suspended particles. The peculiar opening bouquet is astonishingly nutty; the middle stage nosing passes expand on the nut theme by adding soft traces of peanut putter and steamed asparagus. An atypical tequila perfume, but pleasant. Palate entry is meek, but by midpalate moderately sweet flavors of candied nuts and nougat make for an enjoyable experience. The aftertaste is medium-long, nutty, nougat-like and charming. A bargain Tequila for everyday enjoyment.
