Tasting Notes
Nose
Theres an earthy aroma on first sniff much like wet fallen leaves. I pick up notes of heavily spiced cherry compote, fresh yeast, and root beer. Theres a mild note of Queen Annes lace at first, which opens into notes of fresh tangerine peels, and red apples. Its bold and spicy with a strong suggestion of heat from the alcohol.
Palate
My first thought on sipping was that this tastes like freshly baked yeast donuts, and very much in a good way. It has a silky body with mild, fine-grained tannins. Theres a pop of powdered sugar and lush, mature vanilla notes alongside the notes of bread dough, marshmallow root tea, and holy basil. The 12-year in the blend really shows on the palate, rounding out the vanilla sweetness. A dash of water really opens up the aromatics.
