Tasting Notes
"Sweet and floral on the opening, with a fruity backing that does well to level out the nose. Bananas, apricots and fresh oranges move over a bed of flowers, still wet with morning dew. With a drop or two of water, the nose becomes malty, and the lemons open up a bit more. Smoky wood chips begin to appear. On the palate it has a smoky hit, with woody notes coming through, soon covered by those same fruits. The finish is smoky and tart with a slight lemon flavor. Barrel flavors leave a pleasant taste in the mouth."
