Nose: Bready aroma of home baking. Palate: Delicate, slightly sweet, warming soft taste of rye and wheat bread, crackers and bread crust with bread-honey notes. Finish: Long-lasting, dominated by hints of wheat bread, with notes of grains, meadow grasses, warm home baking, fresh hay and warm bread crumbs. Pairing: Borscht, cabbage or pickle soup, meat pie, caviar crêpes, beef stroganoff, and sausage dishes. Recommended as base spirit in Manhattans and Cosmopolitans.
