Review and Tasting

Sampled on 03/09/2020

Appearance:

Clear, golden amber.

Aroma:

Heather honey and pear dusted with cinnamon.

Taste:

Honey, rich pear, vanilla and caramel are balanced by faintly smoked malt, cinnamon, dry oak tannins and roasted nuts.

Aftertaste:

Toasty oak, pear and honey.

Overall:

Rich pear fruitiness and honey perfectly offset dry oak tannins and cinnamon spice in this very quaffable dram.
