Blind tasting sample from Aaron Stark.
Nose: pencils and graphite open up to vanilla and new oak. Furniture polish opens up to caramel corn
Palate: horseradish at first quickly diffused to light caramel, cream, corn, and then spearmint. Medium silky texture. Not much heat to the mid-palate. Sweet.
Finish:
Warmth escalates then quickly fades, leaving a bitter and dry burnt sugar sensation atop a light syrup coating. Pink peppercorn.
