Nose: The aroma is fresh and inviting, lead by foamy banana sweets, honeyed barley, and crisp green apples, with delicate floral flourishes and a hint of toasted almonds in the background
Palate: It has a light to medium body that offers a creamy mouthfeel, featuring notes of malted milk biscuits, milk chocolate, and hazelnut balanced by a subtle citrus acidity and soft orchard fruits
Finish: The experience concludes with a relatively short but clean finish that transitions from sweet toffee and vanilla into a gentle, warming dryness of cinnamon, ginger, and a faint wisp of wood smoke.
