Tasting Notes
"The nose offers a mix of vanilla and toffee, along with citrus zest, candied fruits—especially those chewy, sugary orange slices—along with heather, waxiness, and spice. A creamy palate delivers vanilla custard, chocolate, lemons, more citrus zest and spice, and cedar wood. A moderate length finish is smooth and offers menthol with underlying rich vanillins, eucalyptus, and yet more spicy citrus zest. "
