Look for a tawny hue and aromas suggesting vanilla bean and roasted grain. The palate opens with raisin and date accented with orange peel and candied ginger. Oak, a hint of grapefruit peel bitterness and the faintest whiff of espresso enliven the finish. DATE PUBLISHED 3/1/2023

Clear gold color. Toasty, baked aromas and flavors of toasted coconut, peanut brittle and vanilla cream, lemon verbena, and honey tea with a satiny, flat, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a warming, interesting, long finish conveying elements of candied ginger, orange and chai spice, wet grass, and smoked gouda. Beautiful aromas and warming spices offer up this decadent Irish sipper.
