    taste

    A medium-bodied, brisk cup which starts with a soft fruity flavor akin to apricot and gradually opens up to reveal a heart resonating with vibrant tones of oak-wood and chestnuts; rendering a distinct charter to the liquor. Light earthy accents shore up towards the end which however gradually ebb to finish on a crisp note of dried figs. Delicious and pleasant !
