Nose
Bubble gum and evergreen notes with pine cone character. Foresty with a bit of juniper and some sweet elements without excessive burn.
Palate
Rye flavor bursts through mid-palate leading into other aromatics. Aromatic and syrupy candy notes. Heavy textured with significant mouthfeel and weight.
Finish
Warming finish that opens the palate and makes your mouth water. Candied and syrupy with aromatic forest notes reminiscent of redwood.
