Tasting Notes
"Sweet-tart dried figs, dates, and apricot excite the palate, rounded off with rich cashew and almond. Some vanilla and toffee add to the mix. There's a bite of alcohol in the nose that echoes into the finish, which is a bit hot. It's a good candidate for an on-the-rocks whiskey or base for a spritz. "
