Blind Assessment
Simple, lush aroma with nut and molasses notes. In the cup syrupy mouthfeel, smooth acidity, powerful sweetness. The molasses notes round richly toward a floral-toned honey, balanced by a crisp, dry walnut. Finishes richly with a continued dry, edge-of-astringent walnut note.

Who Should Drink It
Honeyish and floral sweet yet authoritatively dry, should please those who like beverages that combine sweetness and bite.
