10% Claremont, 30% Frankfurt, 60% Boston
Nose
Floral honey and caramel-corn character dominate despite comprising only 10% of the blend. Fresh, refreshing aromatic profile with honeyed notes.
Palate
Drier, pepper-tinged profile with Boston's silky mouthfeel threading through the experience. Mid-palate sits with moderate intensity. A slight added bitterness emerges, creating tension between components.
Finish
Very similar to the individual expressions with pleasant character and substantial length.
Top notch
A compelling study in blending ratios that demonstrates how smaller percentages can outsized aromatic influence, though the combination produces a slight bitterness that prevents seamless integration.
