Tasting Notes
"The nose is a springy mix of freshly cut dill, grass, thyme, and mint along with golden apple, cinnamon, and a hint of lemon. In contrast, the palate is much less herbal, and tastes a bit like a freshly baked oatmeal raisin cookie, with baked grain notes, vanilla, sweet spices, citrus zest, and a hint of dried fruit. It is lacking the sharp clove-black pepper spices that are typical in most ryes, but still but finishes on a sweet, slightly spicy, and zesty note. "
