Tasting Notes
"The nose is somewhat tight, but does eventually open up to dark fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cherry blossom florals. The palate is much more intense than the nose would suggest, with layers of yuzu, pear, jasmine green tea, vanilla, cardamom, and ginger dancing on the tongue. This slightly perfumed dram definitely benefits from a drop or two of water to open up; it's well worth the effort and a little patience. "
