On the nose, mustard seed and honeysuckle lead, layered with peppery green notes and a lift of cinnamon spice. The palate opens with honeyed cereal tones reminiscent of Honey Bunches of Oats, followed by dried fig and a savory, root-vegetable character, with rutabaga adding depth and intrigue. The texture is tannic and gently drying across the palate, building into a pepper-driven finish that lingers with warmth. Overall, it’s incredibly balanced, with a seamless interplay between savory, sweet, and spice elements. Distinctive and very pleasant. —Skurnik Whisk(e)y Portfolio
