The aroma is intense, with notes of baked apple, vanilla, and spices, enriched by the whole apple inside the bottle. On the palate, it is smooth and rounded, offering hints of ripe apple, cinnamon, and a subtle woody touch, with a persistent and complex finish. With 40% vol., it's ideal served at 18-20°C in a tulip or snifter glass. Aged in oak barrels, it's a superb digestif and an excellent pairing for cheeses or chocolate desserts.
