Sunday Muse is blended from 90% Ribston Pippin, and fortified with GoldRush apple eau de vie. Aromas include apple, tangerine, loam & wet leaves with hints of white flower and coconut. Peach, melon, and vanilla on the palate are accompanied by notes of buttery caramel and milk chocolate. While medium–heavy bodied, the abundant acid and a touch of bitterness create a surprisingly refreshing finish. Sunday Muse Amélie Louise Rives Troubetzkoy literary sensation, early feminist, and one of Castle Hill’s early inhabitants, drew a storied and controversial nude self portrait on Sunday, August 21, 1892, serving as her own muse, compounding her reputation as a progressive figure. Castle Hill served not only as her family’s ancestral estate, but a place for literature, art, and pushing the boundaries of her time.
