Bottle from Liquor Mountain. Pours a glowing deep orange-gold with a tall, thick head. Fruity, spicy aroma, citrus, apricot and nectarine, honey, coriander, cloves, esters. Great. Sweet, rich flavor with stewed apricots, clove, grapefruit and orange, honey biscuits. Lovely stuff. Quite starkly bitter finish to balance it all. Full body but not cloying or lagging on the tongue.
