Tasting Notes
"Light vanilla meshes with citrus zest, salt, and broiled meats on the nose. The palate showcases peaches, honey, spice, and a minty-medicinal profile. There's also an interesting nutty note hidden back there. The finish showcases honeyed fruits, salt, black pepper, and menthol. Remarkably smooth and balanced given its proof."
