N: Cherry Hi-C and oak. I'm not quite sure what to make of that combo. It is unique, if nothing else. Cherry cough syrup, orange citrus. Maybe some baking spice way deep in the background.
P: More cherry Hi-C and oak. Bit more tart this time and leaning more toward that syrupy cough medicine. Milk chocolate when you run air across it. Baking spice does build in mid-palate with cinnamon, coriander, and a little cayenne spiced melted butter and brown sugar. Finish is gets pretty hot with a chili pepper character. Good amount of bitter oak tannin too. Some of that cherry carries through to the end, even more on the cough syrup side now, but with a dash of chocolate that does eventually feel like chocolate covered cherry.
That first and dominant artificial cherry note is really just too much for me. I never got past it and it never grew on me. Spending the extra time with it to write the review tonight, I get a bit more depth on the palate than I had noticed before. But it's not enough to make this more than just a mediocre bottle. It's worth taking a flier on if you dig Single Pot Still, but I don't think I'll be repeating this one.
