Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Rich, elegant floral notes waft up first, with dried apricots and crystallised citrus peels and ginger. Freshly crushed vanilla pods and a good hint of warm oak.
Palate
Cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme honey which develops floral hints further on. Sherried goodness surrounds it all wonderfully.
Finish
Sweet and warming with honey.
Overall
Mmmmm... Yep, excellent.
