Tasting Notes

"A very typical Lowland profile, with sweet and warming notes of vanilla, as well as freshly cut green apples and pickled lemon. A whiff of rye bread, cotton candy and straw too. The vanilla continues on the palate, accompanied by oak shavings, as well as powdered sugar. There’s a good hit of zesty lemon and white pepper too, followed by a sliver of mint. It's not overly complex, but powerful and flavouful stuff. Not too dissimilar from the regular Epicurean, except this one has been infused with steroids."
