Tasting Notes

NOSE:
Sharp and sweet, with a strong floral character that swirls with hints of mint, rich tobacco leaf and vanilla.

PALATE:
A touch of oak and pine provides a strong underpinning. Sharp at first, but softens quickly, with hints of oak, sweet corn and rye grain character. Spicy, with soft vanilla and light orange notes.

FINISH:
Long, warm and slightly drying. Nice level of sweetness.
