Peggy Noe Stevens

Nose
Alluring nose of sweet baked brioche and anise. Peach marmalade and red apple with slight vanilla custard. Cotton candy for days.

Palate
Gingery flavors spike on the first sip. Dark raisin and candied apple. Honey and vanilla with graham cracker.

Finish
Mouth-filling bready finish that brightens with grain flavors and cereal tones.

Comments
Ample overlays of toasty goodness and a ginger chaser to create a perfect highball.

Score

8.6


Susan Reigler

Nose
Very rich aroma. Nuts and honey, almost like peanut butter and honey on a banana.

Palate
Nuts are joined by caramel and the bananas are being kept company with some ripe apples. Honey provides rich sweetness. Very rich mouthfeel.   

Finish
The nuts, fruit, and honey don’t stop. They simply finally fade.

Comments
Unusual and intriguing. Don’t mix this with anything, not even water, which dulls rather than enhances the flavors.

Score

8.8
