The heavy vanilla aroma is obvious on the palate, with notes of almond croissants, honey, and daisies. It’s smooth and oily with a sweet vanilla finish and a lingering warming sensation. The vanilla note is a bit overwhelming, bordering on cloying when neat. Over ice, it takes on a more citrusy impression, with notes of fresh lemon zest and sandalwood, though this also accentuates the tannins.
