Act I: The Terroir (The First Inhale)
The moment the vapor hits your coil, you are not hit with sugar; you are hit with wood. Specifically, notes of black walnut and aged cherry wood. The maple is present, but it is a raw, unrefined maple sap—the kind you taste when a tap is first driven into a trunk in February. There is a slight, pleasant astringency that cleanses the palate immediately, preparing you for the richness to come. tba the black alley maple
