- Nose
- Volatile. Strange sweetness – fake vanilla extract, stale cookies, fruit liqueurs, candied cherries, bubblegum, Swiss Miss hot cocoa… it's almost like a single grain whisky. Or, is it like a rye? Herbal flavours, star anise, and green woodiness. Plywood, glue, corn tortillas. Almond and hazelnuts. A little briny.
- Palate
- Thick texture, with a kombucha-like effervescence. Arrives with sappy green wood, violets, overripe orchard fruit, and heavy cream. The development brings strong oak, chalk cliffs, and a certain butteriness. There's that corn tortilla note again. Turns light and estery on the back end, strawberries and gin, orange soda.
- Finish
- Medium-long. Strongly effervescent and candy-ish here. Banana Runts, Sour Patch Kids, violets, icing-sugar-dusted marshmallows, and those Popeye candy cigarettes that are somehow still sold to children. Dusty warehouse and old leather. Strawberry syrup and more heavy cream.
