Nose is a pear, straight pear. Pallet is peat, apple or pear, back of vanilla

Apples, fresh sawdust and a splash of smoke on the nose. Stewed spiced fruit with maple and brown sugar notes. The smoke and wood emerge again on the long tingly finish. So long, in fact that it reminds me of slowly coming out of local anesthesia after a visit to the dentist and you chew on your tongue a little to see what you’re feeling. Delightful
