The fruit gives this rye an approachable centre: orchard fruits and apricot on the nose lead into baked red apples and delicate summer fruits on the palate. Pepper and refreshing herbs keep that sweetness in check, while the pastry notes add a softer contrast. The finish brings strawberry ice cream and fresh thyme, though wet cardboard is a less appealing note among the spice. A balanced, fruit-led character with enough rye pepper to keep it from feeling too soft.
