Tasting Notes
"The nose has an immediate honey sweetness followed by herbal notes of bay leaf, rosemary, and cola spices. The palate has a slightly viscous texture and takes on fruity notes of cooked peaches. caramel, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, orange blossom, and a faint note of blood orange. The finish is a long, satisfying, but not too sweet mix of fruits, spice, and rich caramel that allows the roasted agave notes to shine through. "
