Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

Slightly smoky, with a touch of caramel on the nose, alongside hints of apricot, rose petal, and steamed rice. Smooth on the palate, tropical melon and pineapple are matched with hints of pecan pie and honeycomb before a tinge of citrus lifts the finish.
