Tasting Notes
Nose
At first muted, this whiskey off notes of freshly baked banana bread. On revisiting, this reminds me of caramel baked goods like crusty blonde brownies and cherry pie.
Palate
A baked blueberry note explodes across the palate, evoking blueberry muffins with demerara sugar topping and blueberry pie. Theres a hint of matcha green tea and a subtle but savory note of cooked orange zest. The nose is warm like a pine wood fire and makes me think of burning my tongue while taste testing cooked blueberry jam. The texture is silky and lush with a not so subtle note of vanilla that seems a touch awkward. The finish brings back the blueberry note with hints of buckwheat honey and oatmeal cookies. A dash of water slides the blueberry note to the background, bringing forward more subtle notes of brioche and melted butter. Though I found the blueberry note a touch overbearing at times, this was rather tasty.
