Tasting Notes

Nose: A vibrant and complex aroma profile, immediately greeted by an assertive burst of fresh spearmint, dill, and black pepper. This initial spice gives way to softer undertones of caramel, vanilla, and a hint of green apple or pear, with a faint whisper of pine or cedar.

Palate: The palate opens with a bold and spicy entry, dominated by rye-forward notes of cinnamon, clove, and a strong peppery kick. This quickly evolves into a sweeter, more nuanced mid-palate featuring creamy caramel, rich vanilla, and a touch of dark chocolate. Hints of citrus zest, particularly orange peel, and an underlying earthy minerality provide additional depth and complexity.

Finish: The finish is long, warming, and satisfyingly spicy. The rye spice lingers, accompanied by notes of black tea, toasted oak, and a lingering sweetness of brown sugar or maple. A clean, refreshing minty note often reappears at the very end, leaving a pleasant, invigorating sensation.
