Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

Inviting aromas of toasted sourdough, dried apple slices, slivered almonds, and butter cookie lead into a medium-bodied spirit with plenty of lift, showcasing flavors of lemon confit, shortbread, ginger powder, and mace. The finish is long, culminating in a bitter almond and graphite note.
