Flavor profile
The nose reveals notes of rye bread, orange peel, spices, and a hint of vermouth-like bitterness. The palate is lively and complex: peppery rye, caramel, dried herbs, a light bitterness, and a subtle sweet undertone. The finish is medium to long, spicy and slightly bitter, with a fresh, gourmet style.
