  • Nice, but really disjointed. Nose is sweet and light and then that all fades to ash and ethanol by the finish.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Honey, faint must, sweet cream, fresh baked bread, lemon.

  • Taste:

    Thin mouth feel, no heat. Sweet fresh baked bread, honey, lemon zest, light pepper, faint ash. Not really super bold in any single respect. Heat grows with time, though.

  • Finish:

    Long, rich and smoky. The smoke grows to overpower any sweetness, the lemon is gone, and the breads are on fire.

  • Overall:

    Nice, but really disjointed. Nose is sweet and light and then that all fades to ash and ethanol by the finish.
