Dill
What It Actually Smells or Tastes Like
An unusual, herbal note reminiscent of fresh dill weed -- distinct from the mint and other herbal notes in this family, and one tasters often need a moment to place.
How to Recognize It
A minor, background note when present; it doesn't dominate a pour and is easiest to identify once you already suspect it's there.
Flavor perception varies from person to person -- this is a guide for what to check for, not a claim that everyone tasting the same pour will notice it the same way.
How It Connects to Production
A general sensory association without a single confirmed production cause -- it's sometimes mentioned alongside particular mash bills in enthusiast circles, but there's no verified production link, so treat it as an observation rather than a signal of anything specific.
