Light golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of pecan and walnut paste, under cooked rye bread, sweet baking spices, and bergamot and black tea with a velvety, lively, dry medium-to-full body and an appealing, medium-long finish with notes of cinnamon rye bread, maple, almond, and pecan granola, peach tart and mixed berries, and carob. Sweet and earthy with rich baking spices and showing youthful grains without a traditional Rye pepper bite; exotic and intriguing.
