APPEARANCE: Light caramel, straw/hay, beautiful deep golden hue. NOSE: Bale of hay, dried grass, stone fruit notes of ripe peach and apricot, caramel corn, and sweet maple. PALATE: Spicy caramel up front with the proof, hints of maple then mellows with dried fruit and floral notes. Sweetness and spice reminiscent of freshly baked oatmeal raisin cookies. FINISH: Long and rich finish, lingers pleasantly sweet on the palate, notes of vanilla.
