Nose: Fresh rye bread, cinnamon, and honey greet the nose. Subtle notes of walnut and dried fruit add depth, with a hint of vanilla lingering in the background.
Palate: Sweet and floral flavors take center stage initially. The rye's spiciness then emerges, bringing cinnamon and black pepper. Nutty undertones reminiscent of toasted walnuts complement the spice, while a touch of caramel provides balance.
Finish: Long and warming, with persistent rye spice. The finish evolves into a pleasant interplay of lingering cinnamon, nutmeg, and a subtle oakiness. A gentle sweetness remains, reminiscent of honey-drizzled toast.
