Alcohol: 46.5%
Light golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of baking spice and white chocolate, gum resin, roasted sweet corn, and baking spices and honey roasted cashews with a round, vibrant, dry medium-to-full body and a warming, complex, medium-length finish that shows notes of roasted and caramelized tropical fruit salad of banana, pineapple, and mango, orange and cinnamon on bananas Foster, and anise and clove. Tastes a little bit youthful and grainy but the menagerie of flavors is fascinating and delicious; the tropical fruit notes are almost Rum like.
