Tasting Notes

Appearance: Pale gold to light amber, with a clear, bright hue reflecting its youthful character.

Nose: Fresh and aromatic, dominated by crisp apple, apple blossom, and a touch of citrus zest. Subtle hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and dried chili pepper add spice and lift.

Palate: Moderately sweet and gentle-bodied, with flavors of apple cider, caramel, and woody spice. A lively tang balances the fruit, giving it a refreshing and energetic profile. Smooth and approachable, with no harsh edges—ideal for sipping or mixing.

Finish: Clean and soft, with lingering notes of baked apple, light oak, and a whisper of spice.
