Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of confectioner’s sugar, banana and apple taffy on the wrapper, and rose water with a velvety, crisp, dry light-to-medium body and a warming, engaging, breezy finish with impressions of potpourri, rooibos, lavender and mint, and sandalwood. Sweet candied fruit with a heady perfume make this a fun but specific use mixer.
