Tasting Notes
Nose
Sharp and sweet, with a strong floral character that swirls with hints of mint, rich tobacco leaf and vanilla. A touch of oak and pine provides a strong underpinning.
Palate
Initially lively and sharp, it soon settles into a rounded, medium-bodied palate. Oak frames sweet corn and rye grain with a spicy bite, while vanilla softens the edges. Light orange notes add a citrus lift, culminating in a warm, lingering finish with a gentle sweetness.
Finish
Long, warm and slightly drying. Nice level of sweetness.
