Tasting Notes

Nose

The nose is intensely spiced with aromas of cedar, freshly chopped wood, and German spice cake. There’s a prickle from the alcohol on the nose that belies the low ABV. This carries into a sweet and succulent aroma of fresh pear pastry dough. This opens with notes of roast sweet corn and dried lemons. It has a greenish herbal note that reminds me of fresh lemon grass. The whiskey captures the feel of wood pulp and dust on the nose with a prickly sensation from the alcohol. I can also pick up notes of dried oranges and clove. There’s a malty aroma on the finish like ale, corn puff cereal, and bamboo. The aromatics are moderate in strength showing more dried fruit notes than the previous two. There are aromas of dried apricots and dried orange peels alongside a hoppy aroma. It’s an interestin

Palate

The sweetness softens the palate, with a silkiness to the spiced character. This reminds me of old wooden furniture. It is very impactful with a savory sweetness that opens into notes of green apples, fresh cream, vanilla and dried apple slices. I enjoy the mix of fresh cream aromas with the spiced character. The finish is evocative of rye with notes of maple syrup, old chewing gum, and caramel sauce. A dash of water brings out the lightly floral aromas as well as notes of cedar perfume. The silky body and peppery nose are a lovely contrast.
