Tasting Notes
"The nose is a fruity and spicy mix containing aromas of tart apples, orange and grapefruit peel, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, and burnt sugar. The light to mid-weight palate reveals notes of stewed apples, pineapples, baking spice, and caramel (so almost like a tart upside down cake!) with a subtle, perfumey note of sandalwood. The finish is a bit on the light side, but the fruit and spice carry it through with a spark of heat. "
