Candied orange, baked peach, pineapple, honeycomb, and brown sugar. The palate is deep and unctuous, orange cream, candied pineapple, peach, honeycomb, brown sugar syrup, full bided with some bitters on the finish. Great caressing texture, so smooth and really showing such nice maturity yet still being fresh and lively.
