Nose: Grain silo. Hay. A hint of burnt oak. Minerally, like hot sand blowing around a beach. A hint of butter and canteloupe. After a few drops of water vanilla and spiced scones come through that were previously hiding. Palate: Oak, raw grain, and cream. Again, a bit of sweetness, spice, and vanilla but only after adding some water. Very soft and pleasant, almost effervescent. Finish: Slow build, medium length. More oak and vanilla and cream, with some black pepper. Slightly minerally/metallic
