  • There’s lots of vegetation here on the palate, from dried rye to some wild-tasting weedy notes. The wine makes a bit of an appearance later in the game, with some gentle raisin notes adding nuance along some vanilla that finally makes an appearance.

  • As the whiskey hits my palate, at first, the maillard-like depth of sugar makes an immediate impression of luxuriousness. The ‘baking bread’ aspect of the nose becomes a big part of the front palate, a perfect compeimentary inhalation to the sweeter, complex caramel note. A touch of green peppercorn appears mid-palate, as well as the numbing, creeping spice from the rye grain which plays well with the mild alcohol presence.
