The nose on this Royal Salute blend is aromatic with garden herbs, pears, honey, toasted oak, orange peel, and a gentle hint of smokiness. The taste is sweet and luscious with peaches, cinnamon, ginger snap cookies, and a slight nuttiness complemented by a hint of campfire smoke. The finish is long and sweet with lingering hints of ginger and smoke. (September, 2022)
