◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced malz sweetness and wheat grain roundness, developing into a spicy mid-palate where thyme comes through as a defining character. The finish builds gently with caramel notes, remaining smooth and velvety despite the 6.5% alcohol presence.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is velvety and remarkably clean, with the herbal spice gradually receding into a lingering malz and subtle grain sweetness. A balanced, medium-length finish that does not fatigue.
