Nose: A bright bouquet of orchard fruits like apricot and green apple mingles with floral honey, soft vanilla, and a subtle hint of citrus peel
Palate: Rich layers of caramel and toasted hazelnut lead into a spicy warmth of ginger and black pepper, balanced by sweet notes of dried plum and maple syrup
Finish: A clean, medium-long finish leaves a lingering impression of sweet orange peel, tannic oak, and a delicate touch of ripe persimmon.
