White chocolate, flowers, zested orange, red berries, pear, plum mousse, apricot, and tart Bramley apple, it is estery and distillate-driven, a result of Rademon Estate Distillery’s small pot stills, showing juicy fruits and lots of top notes framed lightly by the oak. Its flavors of honey, fleshy citrus, strawberry, red apple, red currant, toasted macadamia nut, marzipan, and grapefruit peel create a fresh, fruity, and forever evolving pour, with a finish of marma lade, almond, and lime zest.
