Tasting Notes
"Fresh and fruity on the nose, with cantaloupe, lemon zest, and orange marmalade existing beside cocoa, honey, and tropical fruit. On the palate, there's white chocolate, orange bitters, oak spice, black pepper, vanilla, butter cream, and even a little grape. Water brings out a bit more citrus zest and sweet vanilla cream. Well suited for those with a bit of a sweet tooth. "
