Nose
Cream cheese, buttermilk instantly. Moves into vanilla territory. Haybarns, grass cuttings – dusty, malty, slightly vegetal, and lime marmalade.
Palate
Dry, herbal, and very leafy. Oily spirit with green apples and honey. Cheesecake, with ginger, creme brûlée. Dustiness returns, with candied fruits and lemon juice.
Finish
Feints showing, buttermilk returns, with green tea and floral honey.
Comment
Summer on the farm. Questionable casks, but the underlying spirit is lovely.
