Tasting Notes: The first third brings apple pie filling, black tea, dried fruits, dates, nutmeg, soy, and possibly jerky? Baked apple, dried banana, and aged faint cedar, white pepper, and apple. The second third is full of transitions between cherry vanilla, warm dried fruits, cedar, cinnamon, fake cherry gummy flavors, fruit tea, honey sweetness, and molasses. It’s like raspberry tea! The final third brings banana, black pepper, and cedar.
