The bread notes give this a clear, familiar direction, from banana bread and Irish soda bread on the nose to baked goods and oat bars on the palate. Dried apple, vanilla and maple syrup keep the palate on the sweeter side, while the spicy finish and burnt fruitcake add a useful counterpoint. It sounds approachable, though the overall character leans more toward baked goods and dried fruit than the herbal or tea notes I tend to seek.
