Tasting Notes
"Butterscotch, toffee, and orange zest highlight the nose, along with vanilla bean and sour cherries. The palate offers dark chocolate, peanuts, charred oak, hot honey, lavender, and black pepper. The finish offers more zesty citrus peels, along with dried red fruits, and a baking spice mix with cloves and cinnamon."
