Golden yellow color. Aromas and flavors of smoked orange blossom honey, grilled brioche with apricot preserves, honey roasted cashews, and honey malt with a round, vibrant, dry medium body and a delightful, medium-length finish with notes of caramel drizzled waffle, marzipan, coconut cream and honey, smoked nuts, and suede and dried flowers. Honey roasted nuts with delicate floral smoke, sweet grass, and dried red fruits; just a pleasure to sip.
