Tasting Notes
"Lift this nocino to your nose and you'll find cinnamon bark, vanilla extract, and touches of lemon citrus. The palate is all nutmeg and cloves, with light maple syrup, and an herbaceous green character. There's also spearmint and bits of black pepper. A short finish showcases more of the same with mulled wine, simple syrup, and altogether just a soft hit of bitter."
