Tasting Notes

Nose:  Bright and fresh, delightful. Nice notes of honey and brown sugar, along with waxy red yummy apples and a bit of peach and cream. Quite a bit of soft malted barley, a touch of almond paste, and nice spice notes of cinnamon and bourbon vanilla.

Palate:  Still light. But, with a bit more pop than the nose. This progresses nicely with notes of over-ripe pears, spiced apple sauce and sea-salted caramels. The sweet barley is back as well, along with malted milk balls, nutty toffee, and even a touch of salty mixed nuts. A mellow spice wave of vanilla bean, cinnamon stick and grippy clove leads to the finish.

The Finish:  Nice length with the last burst of bruised apple sweetness. Honey-roasted salted almonds, vanilla bean; and soft, drying clove trailing off at the end.
