TASTING NOTES

COLOR
Pale straw.

BODY
Smooth, pleasant mouth-feel: firm with a light to medium body.

NOSE
Subdued, citric fruitiness; a whiff of bath oil and dentist's mouthwash. A fresh and appetizing nose, with little or no trace of smoke. A little water raises almond oil and old-fashioned oilskins; still a fresh fruitiness, a trace of olive oil, and after a while potpourri or scented hand-soap.

PALATE
Drinks well as natural strength; sweet start; pleasant, light fragrant smokiness and a lengthy finish. Smooth, pleasant mouth-feel; with water light acidity, some salt and still the sweeter notes. A complex balance of primary tastes.

FINISH
Sweet smokiness in the lingering, slightly sour finish.
