Tasting Notes
"Big bursts of fruit on the nose, including sour apple and a bouquet of tropical fruit, with butterscotch, and a vanilla creaminess. Comes in hotter and spicier than expected at the front of the palate but then moves into a honeyed sweetness, with floral and heather notes. The finish has spicy oak, black pepper, menthol, cloves, brown sugar, and more honey and apple."
