Toasted rye marshmallow. A green tea note. Woodruff. A peculiar woody sensation on the palate, rye with oak tannin on the middle tongue, but not significantly so. The LONGEST finish, over a minute of the exact profile you love in rye. Your tongue craves more.

The color is dark! It smells of sweet fruity cereal with a peppery undertone. In the mouth, it's surprisingly smooth and mild. A rich, bold taste of a sweet cigar. It goes down the throat smoothly with no burn. The taste lingers for quite a while.
