It’s breakfast for the nose, thanks to a hefty drizzle of maple syrup, pancakes with powdered sugar, freshly squeezed orange juice, and sliced mango. Some toasted coconut wafts up, too. The palate is hot, hot, hot—Red Hots, freshly grated ginger, and white peppercorns. Water calms that heat and coaxes out some honey. Oak emerges on the finish, alongside a zing of lemon peel.
