This 2024 release has a malty nose with a touch of lemon zest and hints of dried flowers, apricots, and honey. The taste has barley sugar sweetness with a touch of clove and white pepper spices and hints of apricots, honey, heather, and brine. The finish is long with lingering spices and barley sugar sweetness. (March, 2024)
