A clean, malty nose with honied cereals and a touch of nuttiness, Brazil nuts to be specific. After allowing time to breathe, some vanilla, Golden Delicious apple, and a hint of lemon icing comes out. Sweeter on the palate than the nose. I get golden syrup, more vanilla, lemon cake with sugar glaze, and a little heat in the form of white pepper and maybe a smidge of ginger powder. The body is nice, for the low ABV, velvety yet light. The legs are quick and sporadic yet attractive. Interestingly, after the first wave passes, a ring of tight, neat teardrops appears just above the fluid’s surface. Not much of a finish. A little bitter walnut mingles with the fading sweetness and some citrus tang. It reminds me of a good Irish pot still whiskey. Nose: 8 Taste: 9 Body: 7 Finish: 6
