Blood in the Sand

Structured and spirit-forward, Blood in the Sand builds on the classic with a deeper, more cohesive profile. Sherry-aged Scotch brings warmth and dried fruit, while Blood Ruby and citrus pull everything into a single, balanced line. The result is brighter than it looks, grounded without heaviness, and composed from first sip to finish.
