Blind Assessment
Medium-bodied but expansively rich with complex mid to low notes. Cedar, nuts and dry fruit in the aroma; sweetly melodic fruit and floral notes in the cup. A dash of astringency in the finish tightens the fruit notes toward grapefruit.
Notes

Who Should Drink It
This past crop Old Tavern Blue Mountain is not as heavy bodied as the Blue Mountain ideal, but a classic coffee in the sweet, low-toned European mode.
