Tasting Notes
"The nose is fruity and toasty, with a hint of orange blossom. The palate is like peach jam that's been cooked with thyme and sweet spices that's coated in caramel toffee. It melts over the tongue, but goes suddenly hot as it hits the back palate. The finish feels a bit abrupt considering the midpalate richness of flavor. A drop of water helps the flavors breathe and stretch out somewhat, drawing out hints of sandalwood. "
