Tasting Notes
"The nose is light with some gentle oak, white peach, toasted malt, and a very light smoke note. Moving on to the taste, once again it's gentle with a light sweetness on the palate and a bit of a waxy white fruit flavor (white peach, pear, melons) along with a mild gentle peat smoke. Adding a splash of water intensifies the fruit cocktail, but it's still a back note. "
