Nose is sour green apple, ginger, clove, prickly cinnamon-rye. Spearmint leaf. A lot going on. Warm salt water at first taste,and it stays on the lips. Honey and corn syrupy stuff. Medium burn. Apple skins. Black pepper. Peat hint, but it hits late. An earthy base: brown leaves. With a droplet: The corn and sharp spice of the rye cut through. Spearmint, cinnamon, borderline Christmas-y. The spice is definitely what I notice. With a big ice cube: the CINNAMON just punches through; forget your Fireball next time and get this. Spearmint, spicy leaves. There is definitely an autumnal, POTPOURRI element here, although I'm tasting potpourri a lot recently for whatever reason. BLACK LICORICE and anise stomp into the later stages.
