Tasting Notes
"The nose offers black cherry vanilla ice cream, along with beeswax, heather, butterscotch, and lemon oleo saccharum. The palate showcases swirls of flavor, interweaving milk chocolate, clover honey, and hay, with bright pops of citrus, blackberries, and a peppery undercurrent. The finish is lengthy, with sweet orange creamsicle, Christmas spice, tart lingonberries, and tannic oak."
