Sensory Description:

Clear Water Lorenz Crafted Spirit opens with expressive aromas of cinnamon rolls, vanilla flan, French toast, and warm apple turnover. The palate is rich yet refined, unfolding layers of cinnamon apple pancakes, vanilla crème brûlée, and smoky caramelized piloncillo. The dual yeast fermentation builds depth and smoothness, while vapor infusion through a gin basket extracts essential oils without added sugar, preserving clarity and structure. The finish lingers with warm cinnamon apple, French vanilla ice cream, and a subtle echo of toasted coconut, offering both sweetness and spice in seamless balance. The triple distillation ensures purity while maintaining the full aromatic intensity of its carefully selected botanicals.
