Tasting Notes
"The nose is deliciously sweet and zesty with buttery vanilla, lemon meringue, red berries, fresh apples and pot still spices. On the palate, it's fairly easy-drinking, drier, boasting notes of raspberry, apple pie, brioche, almonds, orange and spices. The finish is medium and dry with pepper and wine tannins. Overall, a very nice twist on the Green Spot, combining the sweetness, spiciness and fruitiness of the classic Green Spot with the red berries and dry profile of the wine cask in a richer, more complex dram."
