Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
Sweet baked apple aromas complement pineapple and a hint of garden mint. Subtle notes of heather honey and faint herbal influences lead to bright citrus zest.
Palate
Exotic fruit flavours infuse with dried banana and toasted almonds. Ripe mango comes to the fore alongside seville orange and black pepper.
Finish
Medium in length with soft menthol and oak.
