An inch in and there is black pepper spice on the retro. Further in it mellows with a note of unsweetened corn flakes with a touch of honey. Staggered dime stacks give way 1.5″ in. Mild with a saline/mineral note.
More mineral notes, white pepper comes into play. Struggles to stay lit. Has a light muskiness to it end of third.
Gets a light but robust cafe note to it. With some oak char and grain.
