Some woodiness on the nose, as well as unripened orange. Eventually, sweeter notes waft up: glazed doughnut, graham cracker, caramel-dipped vanilla soft serve, and brown sugar-cinnamon Pop Tart. Those warm cinnamon notes carry on to the palate, but they’re joined by black pepper, matcha powder, and a sprig of spearmint. Unsurprisingly, there’s cinnamon spice at the finish making for a punchy bit of heat in the end.
