Tasting Notes

"The Cally wears its age with elegance and grace. Youthful, fresh flavors of golden-apple mix with stewed pear and caramel, coating a viscous, chewy center of shortbread, oats, and earthy walnuts. Some vanilla, cinnamon, wildflower, dill, and coconut begin to emerge with a couple of sips. The finish is full, structured, and lingering."
