Nose
Sweet and gentle, fruity and floral, with notes of stewed pears, tinned peaches, elderflower, mango, starfruit, lychee, muscat grapes, citrus peels, lavender, violets, beeswax, and cedar-y spice. Mild sherry-cask influence emerges.
Palate
Light texture with tangerine, nectarine, beeswax, white chocolate, fragrant oak, milk chocolate, dunnage-y notes, pineapple, pear, red apples, and a little black pepper. Honey and vanilla, accented with subtle almond.
Finish
Medium-short, with a hint of soap, nougat, honey, sweet citrus, and mango. Long and lingering with spiced oak and citrus.
