Nose
Lemon rind with a touch of alcohol gives way to fresh pine but not quite new timbers. As the fresh scents decay, there is a hint of peat smoke overlaying the initial smell. The first breaths from the glass are rounded out by leather and what can only be described as a green jolly rancher.
Palate
There is sweetness here, like a hard candy, but it doesn’t overwhelm. The palate opens with wisps of peat smoke, but it is extremely light and approachable. Across the mid-palate we have rich vanilla and creamy chocolate milk, although there is some acidity through the initial taste.
Finish
It doesn’t burn going down and is extremely light.
