Tasting Notes

Nose

There is a slight acetone note at the beginning, but then it goes into this metallic, meaty, and herbaceous concoction. The baking spices are there with a hint of espresso. However, I cannot escape the savory elements. It is like a beautiful slow-cooked brisket smoked with cherry wood—medium rare and juicy. It has a hint of salt and buttermilk biscuits coming through the backend.

Palate

Boy is it hot and spicy. The cherry comes through more on the palate than it does on the nose. It’s herbal with thyme, but overall it is peppery with a bit of barbecue pit smoke. The oak hits quickly, adding character rather than blandness. As it eats at the sides of my tongue, it feels like a burning ember in my stomach, yet I want more.
