The nose is delicate with notes of pears, apples and dried apricots. On the palate, it is more into butterscotch, toffee, milk chocolate well balanced with some candied orange peel. Rather spicy on the finish, Christmassy and peppery. To note that I was worried with the 50 ABV, it actually remains smooth and the heat isn't that powerful. Worth mentioning it is the first drink from a new bottle and will definitely mellow out
