Tasting Notes
"The nose has a pleasantly buttery, yeasty quality (like a baked scone) mixed with orange blossom, vanilla, and allspice. More spice kicks into the palate with vanilla and almond (marzipan) richness, dried flowers, and spicy-sweet flavors akin to ginger snap cookies. A gentle earthiness and lingering sweetness guide the finish, with a fizzle of black pepper heat. "
