Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: intensely toasty, almond paste, oak spice, Demerara sugar, French roast coffee grounds, Strawberry Twizzlers and caramel chews;
Palate: round, creamy coating and very toasty; orange creamsicle, big juicy Jujubes, tropical fruits and more Strawberry Twizzler; more chewy caramels, Demerara sugars, a touch of French roast coffee grounds, leather and cultured butter with honey.
Finish: big, round and fruity with the creamy honey tones leading the charge.
Comment: this single grain is showing a touch of oak but still bright and full of character; could be a dangerous one to cozy up to!
