Tasting Notes
"The nose doesn’t open so much as kicks down the door. Rich and smooth with a heavy heather-honey influence riding on a wave of dried apricots, and house made sweets, made with real brown sugar. The palate prickles with apples along with more heather-honey and vanilla before settling down over the tongue. Spices seem to dance over the top. Trail mix and dried fruits make a long finish, with an oaky influence before fluffed sugar enters the fray to calm down the Beastie. "
