Tasting Notes
"The nose leads with rich honey and heather, along with layered vanillins. The palate begins with cereal grains, and then moves into toffee and raw honey. Beneath that find sugary lemon peel, hay, and butterscotch. A rich, lengthy finish showcases dry oak, along with ginger and gingerbread cookies, and light floral notes."
