There’s an aroma of tangy barbecue sauce along with honey, grilled fruits, soft oak, toasted coconut, and a hint of toffee. The taste is tangy, tart, and well-balanced with barbecue sauce, honey, crystallized ginger, grilled pineapple, and a hint of coconut. The finish is long and subtle with a kiss of sweet smoke and touches of honey and butterscotch. (December, 2019)
