Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

Honey/harvest gold color. Frontline aromas are vibrant, animated, juicy, fruity, semisweet, raisiny, pruny, but underneath that is a dry layer of malt. Taste-wise, the dominant flavor is the dried fruit aspect, which is sherried, honeyed, roasted, baked, charred. Aftertaste reflects the midpalate, adding a trace of flowers.
