Nose

Lean and young with medium intensity. Freshly ground cumin seed, green peppercorn, mint, bitter orange, hazelnut, peanut brittle. Touch of the hay-loft.

Palate

Quite silky and light to start, then the rye kicks in like a mule. Sherbet, ginger and spice.

Finish

Medium length, intense, dry with a lovely sour edge.

Comment

A cracking, edgy drink and alongside the fuller Overholt a real bargain. Great for barmen and beginners alike.
