Tasting Notes
"Marshmallows, sour wine and vanilla to start, accompanied by touches of oak and a medium spiciness. It's the candy-esque notes that remain most prominent, like marzipan and caramelized banana. The palate is fairly creamy with a tinge of vanilla custard and red berries, but then the spice and oak overtakes. They didn't completely manage to capture the sweet point between spirit and oak, but tasty nonetheless."
