Tasting Notes

Nose

The aromatics on the nose border on savory and earthy. I pick up notes of over-steeped black tea, fry oil, Red Hots, and cantaloupe rind. The chemical notes remind me of freshly laid asphalt. There’s a touch of sliced yellow apples and brown bread. It’s pleasant with a splash of homemade root beer in the background. On the nose, I pick up notes of fruit chutney, cinnamon sticks, dried mango, and dried herbs. It tastes more mature and more spice-driven than its sibling.

Palate

Creamy and voluptuous on the palate with notes of ripe yellow pears, black tea, cinnamon gum and burnt maple sugar. It builds to a pleasant sting as it sits on the tongue. There are notes of toasted brown bread dusted with cinnamon sugar on the finish as it slowly evaporates. It has a sweetness that’s not just oaky and a suggestion of warm rye spice. It’s hefty, earthy, and sweet without being saccharine.
