Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

Buttered, griddled sourdough, roasted, slivered almonds, and stewed quince mingle with split cedar, new leather, and fresh-cut straw aromas. Light and lively on the palate with pear cider, licorice root, and toasted caraway, this has a medium-long, toasty finish.
