Starward Solera Single Malt, 43%

Aromatic citrus wafts from the glass, as Creamsicle, orange peel, and green tea with lemon emerge. Honey Nut Cheerios, ripe strawberries, and a zing of tangy raspberry make the nose that much more enticing. Some cinnamon heat on the creamy palate, but it’s tempered wonderfully by strawberries and cream, vanilla frosting, and strawberry-rhubarb jam. The finish is rife with confectioner’s sugar and more warming spice.
