Bonus points: noticed it clearly states 'Natural Color' on the label! After a respectful amount of time to open in the glass, sweet vanilla and earthy wild honey rise to the occasion, followed closely by beloved petrichor and lemon zest. Once on the palate it's all sweet malt chocolate and powerful oak spices. The finish is long, mild bittering menthol, with baked lemon zest lingering longest. A balanced, easy drinking, old-world implicative sort of dram. Dry glass: banana pudding.
