Member Ratings and Notes

N: Dry on the nose, with an even mix of pepper and wood. Fairly sharp, a bit of prickling. Very dry rye notes with a faint hint of black pepper. A touch of red wine as well.

P: Caramel, sweet but with a slightly sour edge to it. Plenty of heat on the palate. A bit of maple syrup and cinnamon. A slight bit of black cherry that's just a touch syrupy and sweet too.

F: Drying off again - rye, pepper, a hint of celery root. A bit of orange and cinnamon as well. Moderately long finish.

Too dry on the nose and the finish for me to really like this one much. Not bad; just a matter of personal taste.

Sku

Nose: Wood, savory notes,

Palate: Watery, quite sweet with spice and wood notes late in the palate and some savory (teriyaki?) notes

Finish: Sweet on the palate, wood on the nose.
