Tasting Notes
"As you move closer to the glass, you get the style of the Royal Salute Series: citrus zests, dry fruits, but also a much more pronounced marzipan aroma. It follows on the palate with more expressivity with notes such as tangy grapefruits and mandarins before more dry fruits appear to give place to a smoother and sweeter profile. This is all works well with spices, ripe apples and touches of wood and finishes on the dry side. "
