Tasting Notes

Nose

This pops from the glass with aromatics of cooked cereal, baker’s yeast, and red fruits. It shows a delicate note of campfire logs left to smolder, which I attribute to the sugar maple filtering. This certainly smells like a rye, with some warm baking spice notes, but it’s a touch simple. There’s a hint of warm iron and nail polish remover, as well.

Palate

The flavor is delicate, with notes of fireball candies and simple syrup. It tastes a touch watery, but has a nice fine grain to the tannins and a crackle of energy to the burn without overwhelming the palate. There’s a hollowed-out feeling on the finish, like plain vanilla cake baked yesterday. The finish shows notes of water crackers, uncooked pasta, and cinnamon candy. It feels a touch lacking in depth but without any off flavors. The acetone note I picked up on the nose is very mild and adds a touch of lift to the overall experience.
