The nose is reminiscent of walking into a bakery, with cinnamon spice, pound cake, gingersnaps, and frosted vanilla cupcakes. Soon, drier notes of oak, hay, and white pepper enter the picture. The palate, which is a tad thin, is punctuated by lemon curd, blueberry pancakes, and wood spice. Lemon and honey come forth on the finish, joined by more savory spice and a lick of apple cider vinegar.
