Tasting Notes
"The nose is green, like a grassy meadow dotted with wildflowers, and also offers spearmint, salted caramel and vanilla taffy. The palate offers rye spice, black pepper and nutmeg, along with sour cherries, dill, menthol, and raspberries. The finish offers notes of sassafras and kola, as well as cacao nibs, and is peppery with jalapeno. "
