Westward Milestone Edition No. 1, 43%

This journey starts with a somewhat woody nose, calling to mind sawdust, cedar plank, torched orange, stone fruit, and the faintest whiff of smoke lingering in the background. On the palate, honey, shortbread cookie, and a sweet sprig of spearmint are joined by more stone fruit and star anise, then juicy slices of white peach and Snapple peach tea come to the fore. The finish is delicate, bursting with stone fruit sweetness and white pepper heat.
