Nose:
Honey, faint must, sweet cream, fresh baked bread, lemon.
-
Taste:
Thin mouth feel, no heat. Sweet fresh baked bread, honey, lemon zest, light pepper, faint ash. Not really super bold in any single respect. Heat grows with time, though.
-
Finish:
Long, rich and smoky. The smoke grows to overpower any sweetness, the lemon is gone, and the breads are on fire.
-
Overall:
Nice, but really disjointed. Nose is sweet and light and then that all fades to ash and ethanol by the finish.
