Tasting Notes

Nose

Banana, banana, banana! After a few minutes some of the freshly peeled banana blows off and lets other notes through. Savory green pea leads into a heady sweetness with lots of vanilla bean, and some oakiness makes a show mid-way through.

Palate

A bit of rye roughness almost immediately mellows into almost un-ripe green apple, which sticks around. Slightly thin in texture. Virtually no sweetness, but more fruit flavors come up over time, grounded by a dark rye graininess, without grassiness. Fruit becomes flower as some musk makes an appearance as well.
