Tasting Notes

Nose

Tropical vanilla notes explode from the glass upon pouring. This is no shy fellow. I pick up notes of green bananas, sugar cookies, white grapes, and toasted buckwheat. It has a strong note of pumpernickel bread and sawdust. There’s a whiff of a chemical note like diesel.

Palate

This is moderate in body with a touch of tannins and a building fieriness. It has a spicy kick to it like horseradish. It’s rather simple on the palate, with notes of pfeffernusse (German spice cookies that are dusted in powdered sugar), molasses, and cast iron. The finish is moderate in length, with sugary sweetness to the end.
