Tasting Notes
Nose : Green apple, watermelon, peach, strawberry, vanilla, honey, and a delicate fruity aroma reminiscent of candied fruits.
Palate : Smokiness paired with peach, strawberry, watermelon, pineapple, and green grape. There’s a hint of malt, and the spiciness becomes pronounced when taken in larger sips.
Finish : Medium length, with the robust character of toasted oak, intertwined with peach and a fruity caramel sweetness. However, it ends with a slightly unpleasant woody bitterness.
