Heads up! This is a VERY savory dram, so don’t move in unless you want a meal. On the nose it’s spice galore. Tumeric, cayenne, cinnamon, coriander, they’re all there. Along for the ride are light fruits and a light tobacco. The palate. Wow. Most people, unfortunately, won’t know what I am referring to, but the taste reminds me a lot of an Ethiopian Sambossa. Onions, lamb, spices, ginger, and mint. Some will learn a way to respect the glass, and some might get lost in its onslaught of great flavor. The finish is a little bitter, filled with toasted almonds and walnuts. 3.75. The theme for this dram will be “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin. It is worth the journey.

Now re-reading your post after I just posted----ironically, I also thought of something similar, except the Indian samosas. Almost like the Ethiopian, slightly different spices
You had me at Ethiopian Samboosa. Little pockets of bursting flavor.
