Palate Pass
Grassy - hot - cakey **
Rich - balanced - elegant rye spice, reminds me of NR ***
batter. Better balance. Floral forward, grassy sweet spice. ***
Soft on the palate - resonate deeper rye spice. Floral, gentle, honey. ***
Bity beginning. Sharp. No. *
Floral and perfume lead the sips but it’s a tad soft, sort of disjointed finish. Shame. Had potential. **
Fruity, but slight shoe polish. Has a bit of funk but very subdued. Honey fruity funk.
Bold but reserved. A bit shorter finish. Old shoe, smoke. **
