NOSE Apple cider, oak, honey, nuts, dried tropical fruit, malty sweetness and a bit of herbal notes. Nice, this is soft and fruity without being spineless, a nice profile to start. PALATE Herbal, apple cider, dried pears, nuts, malty sweet, nutmeg, white pepper and some oak and tropical fruit. A very slight cocoa note appears as it opens, but on the whole it’s herbally fruity. FINISH Medium -> Malty, herbal, touchy oaky and baking spice.
