Tasting Notes

Nose

The spirit is lively at first whiff, with notes of Triscuit crackers, heavily toasted walnuts, roasted meat, and cornhusks. On revisiting the nose, the aromatics are grain-forward like boiled oats or toasted bread. On the sweet side, the nose is custardy like stracciatella ice cream and banana pudding. There is a rich, yeasty aroma like baking bread. It settles in and quickly becomes the dominant aroma.

Palate

On the palate, the spirit is moderate to full in body with an oily texture and a slight zing to the alcohol. Flavor-wise, there is an overwhelming note, more like eating raw bread dough than drinking beer. The yeast and raw grain notes are powerful and quickly overwhelm.

Finish

The finish is moderately long with notes of nutritional yeast, vitamin pills, and chocolate covered cherries. A dash of water brings out a note of vanilla cream, but leaves the yeastiness. This really needs something to counter-balance the raw dough note, perhaps it would do well in a salty or smoky cocktail.
