The biggest brute in the Sweet Toothed Savages isn't known for his brains—he's known for crushing everything in sight... except dessert. Strawbrawny Sam is the gentle giant of the crew, a mountain of muscle with an unexpected weakness for strawberry treats, fresh-baked pastries, and a strong pour of mead. Rich strawberry sweetness collides with buttery brioche, roasted praline, and smooth smoked vanilla bourbon, while sea salt, soft woods, and pink pepper keep the profile rugged rather than sugary. Handcrafted in small batches in Land O' Lakes, Florida, Strawbrawny Sam proves that even the fiercest pirate has a soft spot.
TOP NOTES
Strawberry Mead – Sweet ripe strawberries blended into rich honey mead for a juicy, boozy opening.
Sea Salt – A touch of salty coastal air that keeps the fruit vibrant and balanced.
Pink Pepper – Bright peppery spice adding energy and preventing the sweetness from becoming overwhelming.
MIDDLE NOTES
Praline – Roasted caramelized nuts that add buttery richness.
Brioche Bread – Warm, fresh-baked bread with a soft, buttery center.
Smoked Vanilla Bourbon – Creamy vanilla infused with smoky bourbon barrels for warmth and depth.
BASE NOTES
Benzoin – Rich amber-like sweetness with a smooth resinous finish.
Soft Woods – Gentle dry woods that ground the gourmand notes with a masculine character.
Smoked Vanilla Bourbon – Lingers into the dry down with subtle smoke and bourbon warmth.

Strawbrawny Sam opens with juicy strawberry mead brightened by sea salt and pink pepper before revealing warm praline, buttery brioche, and smoky vanilla bourbon. As it settles, soft woods and benzoin emerge, leaving behind a rich, comforting finish that's sweet enough to satisfy but rugged enough for a pirate captain.
"The scent of raising a mug of strawberry mead after conquering the bakery."

I love me some strawberries.
This one is so smooth, even if you are not a fan of berries or gourmand scents, you will like this one. I love it as it has many layers and that berry sits with you most of the day.
Picking up another one to last until fall wraps up in Nov.
Long lasting, great scent that’s not too sweet.
Strawbrawny Sam is another winner from Rugged Pirate. I used the butter & oil. The strawberry mead hits first with a fresh, juicy sweetness, but it never smells like artificial candy. Almost immediately, the warm buttery brioche and roasted praline come through, giving it the comforting aroma of a fresh bakery. As it settles, the smoked vanilla bourbon, soft woods, and hint of sea salt come through.
The scent lasts for many hours and evolves from bright and fruity to warm, rich, and slightly smoky.
If you enjoy gourmand scents that aren’t overly sweet, Strawbrawny Sam for you. Yet another perfect addition to the Sweet Toothed Savages lineup.
