The nose is very light starting with a mix of mild sour astringency, floral and light hay then lightly sweetened breakfast cereal with golden raisins followed by fruits of tangerine, grapefruit zest and lemon juice that transitions to a mild smoke, ginger, and light oak spice with light ethanol burn. The taste is a thin mouthfeel starting with a mild sour and bitter mix then Honey Nut Cheerios with golden raisins followed by dark chocolate and fruits of tangerine, grapefruit pith and charred lemon that transitions to powdered ginger, fresh gauze and light ashy oak spice with light ethanol burn. The finish is short with tangerine, grapefruit pith, ginger and light ashy oak. Overall, this is an easy sipper with a mix of sour fruits, floral, hay and light oak, but it’s just so thin that the flavors are just so light and watery. When I first started drinking this was a perfect introduction that I really enjoyed but my tastes have now gravitated towards cask strength versions that I likely would have found overwhelming when starting out. These appear to be selling at $75+ around me and that’s far too high of a price for a light easy sipper. Thanks @ContemplativeFox for the generous sample.
