| TASTING NOTE: … Floral, garden fresh, and minty scents take me by surprise in the opening rounds of inhaling – wasn’t expecting civilization; the bouquet goes all spice cake, dried fruits, and vanilla snap cookies in the second phase after aeration. Entry is wonderously sweet and toffee like and then it turns spirity and intensely smoked in the mid palate stage that also features toasted marshmallow and roasted nuts. Concludes more bittersweet than sweet as the veil of smoke thickens. Highly Recommended. Score – HHHH (out of 5). (F. Paul Pacult, Spirit Journal, Sept. 2009) |
