Tasting Notes

Smells of toasted rye bread with honey. A kind of marshmallow sweetness is on the nose with some subtle apple and spice. Smells of cotton candy, corn, and a savory vegetal note that almost reminds me of green olive. I get caramel, white pepper, and a note of charred corn. The corn scent makes me think of corn cooked on barbecue for just a little too long.

Palate

This has a very pleasant spice throughout it. It has that kind of nondescript sweetness up front, flavor of rye crackers in the mid palate, and a meaty finish that is just quite savory. The addition of water shifts the flavor profile towards the sweeter notes with hints of caramel coming in at the mid palate and making the finish a combination of vegetal and sweet.
