Tasting Notes
"Aromas of figgy pudding — mixed dried fruits (figs, dates, apricots, cherries, raisins), clove, nutmeg, and ginger — hit the glass running. The palate has additional notes of tangy fresh tropical fruits, particularly mango and papaya, roasted cashews, salty malted pretzels, and hints of sandalwood. Vanilla sweetness comes through in the finish, which is fruity and somewhat floral. "
