- Palate
- On the palate, there are unusual highlights of eucalyptus, burnt orange, rosemary, and thyme, alongside a harmonious balance of spices and caramel. Layers of vanilla, honey, and rich malt sweetness are present, with a chewy greybread base, quince jelly, chocolate sprinkles, whipped cream, and powdered white pepper. The rye is wonderfully present with gentle spices, cinnamon, almond paste, caramel, orange liqueur, oaties, and nutmeg.

It emphasizes cinnamon and pepper, followed by almond cookie crunchiness, spearmint freshness, and notes of green and yellow fruits like apple, gooseberry, garden plum, and unripe banana.
