TASTING NOTES
NOSE: Sweet aromas rise from a sugar jar with vanilla pods. The fragrance of vanilla-and-amber scented candles fills the air, along with fresh tropical fruits. Faint puffs of chimney coal smoke linger.
PALATE: A chocolate-dusted cappuccino, warm vanilla-custard brioche, and maple-syrup-poached tangy fruits appear along with a roaring peat fire. Butter icing on vanilla cupcakes follows next.
FINISH: Sweet, creamy vanilla with a hint of peat smoke.
