Tasting Notes
Nose |
Distillery: Vibrant and balanced the aroma is led by honey sweetness and a rich, fruity heart of raisins and baked caramel apples. Dark chocolate and creme brulee follow with just a touch elusive winter spices underneath. |
Taste |
Distillery: Sweet and full bodied on the palate, the taste evokes seasoned fruit cake and sticky toffee, balanced by brighter notes of fresh vanilla and a subtle thread of lime honey. |
Finish |
Distillery: A warm, lingering finish delivers the final spicy flourish. |
