Method and Madness Chestnut Cask-Finished, 46%
Perfumy and earthy aromas dominate the nose: dried roses and orange peel, talcum
powder, moss, sandalwood, granola, toast with honey. Flavors of toasted cedar, spruce, and
moss, woven with spice and pecans, are juxtaposed with bright lemon, almond cream,
orange blossom water, and rose petals. The finish is soft and savory, with lingering
earthiness. A curious profile that dips and weaves, its character almost intangible, but
ultimately in balance.
