According to the official notes from the brand, the nose opens with orange sorbet and pineapple, followed by honeyed oats, toasted marshmallow, and a touch of cassis. On the palate, sweet cream, cookie dough, and golden raisin mingle with Mexican vanilla and cocoa nib. The finish brings dried apricot and Meyer lemon alongside clove and sweet cinnamon, with a subtle briny note.
