Gold color. Aromas and flavors of sappy forest logs, banana herb muffin and green apple taffy, model clay, dried paint and putty, and warm pencil eraser with a supple, bright, dryish medium body and a delightful, medium-long finish evoking overtones of wet grain sack, circus peanut, and molasses and anise candy. An earthy Rye that will play nicely in clever cocktails.
