Tasting Notes
"The nose reveals tropical fruit aromas of honeydew melon and white peach mixed with autumnal spices and buttery scones. The palate is much richer and tastes like a liquid version of salted caramel biscuits slathered with orange and fig marmalade, with earthy Assam black tea notes and pipe tobacco cutting some of the richness. The long finish has a subtle florality and brininess mixed with bright fruit, spice, and just a whiff of smoke. "
