Tasting Notes
"Honey-covered apples kick off the nose, with dried apricots and a range of tropical fruits including papaya and mango, all backed up by butterscotch. Dried fruits and walnuts show on the palate, with clover honey, bitter Baker's chocolate, and creamy toffee. More dried fruits on a short finish with flamed orange peel, oak, and spice. Big and robust despite the, for Kavalan, modest price and proof, as well as its "for cocktails" designation."
