Tasting Notes
Smoking Time (Average): 60-75 Minutes
Wood, honey and light spices greet the palate on the cold draw. It opens with roasted nuts, white pepper, wood and delicate cappuccino nuances. Hazelnut, honey and wood form the core, with white pepper lingering behind and building through the smoke as a sour cream nuance and balsamic herb note develop and the pepper turns from white to black. Medium bodied, climbing to medium-full.
