Tasting Note
Nose: A very enticing nose on the Alpha, I would say this is no young thing this is a mature beauty. I know already I will like this. Vanilla, coconut, caramelised orange, bit of cherry, sugar almonds. Apple, some lemon meringue.
Taste: Velvety smooth. After a few mouthfuls some delicious rich fruit mandarin some cherry brandy coated in a lovely vanilla icing sugar getting more spicy. Another mouthful and it is getting more zesty and and a touch of spice, love it.
Finish: Honey, bit of spice, sweet candied fruit, cinnamon, a bit of oak.
