Nose
Candy sweetness with pronounced spice, black currant, raisin, Christmas fruitcake character. German stolen notes, Sassafras and root beer aromatics. Rich and oily with botanical complexity reminiscent of Jägermeister.
Palate
Powerful and full-bodied with spice balanced by sweetness. Biscuit note from malted rye with toasted rye bread character and subtle grassy, doughy undertones from the raw grain component. Drinks stronger than stated proof.

Lingering spice and warmth with persistent oiliness.
