Tasting Notes from the Master Taster, Jackie Zykan

• Aroma:          Rich brown sugar and magnolia blossom, with hints of soft sassafras and candied lemon

• Taste:            Spice awakens immediately leading with sharp black pepper and cinnamon stick, rounding out with notes of dried dill and baked apple

• Finish:           Allspice and peppercorn introduce a long and dry finish which ignites with pine, anise and bright lemon zest
