Tasting Notes

"The nose is what it must be like to smell seaweed cooked in a beach bonfire that's been slathered with fresh butter. The palate is rather spicy, with sharp black pepper, clove, and nutmeg tingling the palate behind more herbal elements of sweet thyme and tarragon. There's a meaty, maple glazed smoked ham with baked apples flavor in the midpalate, carrying through to a somewhat sweet-savory and peaty finish that's slightly hot, but satisfying. "
