The nose is winey, floral, citrus, and something about it reminds me of removing old wallpaper from walls. Not sure if it's the glue or the damp mustiness of the wallpaper. It's not an entirely unpleasant note, but definitely interesting. The palate carries over much of the same, with a continuation of the odd/interesting flavor experience from the nose. It's quite full-flavored for the proof. Floral, herbal, strawberry taffy sweetness. The finish shows some wood tannins, but it's a nice balance to the floral fruit funk. I believe I've had a Westward before, but the experience here doesn't feel familiar. I can definitely say I've never tried anything with these flavors, so score a point for uniqueness. I'm not sure that it would be something I'd want on the regular, but I enjoyed the sample and am pleased to be able to try. Thank you @PBMichiganWolverine

@PBMichiganWolverine I would never laugh about something like that 😂
@soonershrink so, here’s the kicker…I don’t think I’ve tried this yet, and I can’t find the bottle. @ContemplativeFox is probably laughing , considering I’ve done this a few times already
