Notes & Flavors

Color:: Medium-pale wheat.

On the nose:: Delightfully odd, in the sense of diverging from my expectations. “Peaches and cream” would be a reductive descriptor, but there’s so much more to this. Imagine a whole jungle full of exotic fruits (mango, papaya, lychee, guava) married with an entire dairy worth of milk derivatives (buttermilk, Greek yogurt, crème fraiche). This vacillates along a sinusoid between these two poles, bouncing from rich fruitiness to smooth creaminess and back again. As I sniff longer, there’s also a cereal note and a slightly soapy nuance.

In the mouth:: Zippy to start; this does not make much of an impression at the front of the mouth. The midpalate once again echoes the bipolar nature of the nose, with an interplay of milky and plump, tropically fruity flavors. I also get the sweet cinnamon flavor of apple pie filling. This transitions to the finish with both the flavor and texture of soap. At the back of the tongue, I get a slightly stale flavor of old cut tobacco and dried autumn leaves.
