Tasting Notes Nose: A beautiful balance of sea breeze and peat, opening up to vibrant notes of grapefruit, lychee, green apple, caramel, and a hint of oak-fired smoke Palate: A rich and mellow mouthfeel bringing forward honey, cinnamon, kumquat, clotted cream, vanilla, and roasted hints of crème brûlée, poached pear, nutmeg, and burnt toffee Finish: A creamy, lingering gentle finish with a clean citrus aftertaste
