Nose
Rich ginger spice opens the nose, giving way to honeyed malt and ripe exotic fruits. Lighter citrus notes shimmer with a touch of dried apricot and aniseed, evolving into a subtly spicy, alluring bouquet.
Palate
Sweet and creamy on the palate, white chocolate laces with zesty orange and ripe white peach, crowned by a prickle of black pepper. Rich orchard fruit mingles with gentle spice, finishing with a warm, lingering sweetness.
Finish
Long finish with lingering btterscotch, oak and delicate herbal influences.
