Tasting Notes

"The nose is a refreshing mix of ripe green apples, lemongrass, bayleaf, and spearmint with hints of toasted, seeded rye bread. The palate echoes these fruity, herbaceous flavor profiles with more peppery spice and a balanced tartness. The finish is a bit drying and abrupt, but spice and earthiness add some weight to carry it through. "
