Ken Byron Ventures Festivus Mixture 2021

Festivus Mixture is a Virginia-Perique blend Ken Byron Ventures prepares for the holiday season. The production method reportedly involves partially Cavendish-processing aged Virginia leaf, steaming it for an hour, then combining it with Perique and pressing it into thin slices. This process aims to give the blend a mature character right out of the tin. On the taste side, stone fruit, earthy spice, and molasses stand out; Perique's sharp, spicy punch sits atop Virginia's natural sweetness. Released as a limited batch.
