Country: USA

Clear golden amber color. Baked, boozy, toasty aromas and flavors of chocolate cake, orange marmalade and coconut, roasted almond and cheesecake, creme brulee, and white peach and tangerine with a satiny, shy, dry light-to-medium body and a peppery, interesting, medium-length finish revealing impressions of brioche, candied ginger and cocoa nibs, coconut cream and red berries, and banana. A Whisky drinker’s table Whisky, this hits all the marks as a go-to glass pour.
