SMWS Tasting Panel's tasting note:  "The nose neat had plenty of goodness, a lovely fruitiness of lychees, kiwi and melon as well as caramelized bananas, delicate hints of tapenade, orange peel and charred pineapple which found themselves alongside cocoa and coconut macaroons. Wonderfully mellow and mouth-watering just like biting into juicy mangoes which then was followed by delicate orange oil and white chocolate and   orange marmalade macaroons.

Water added boozy ice cream sundae, banana split and clotted cream while on the palate a gentle, soft and fragrant fruit like raspberry tartlets and peach mango coconut cheesecake. We immediately started planning our winter getaway."

*A note about the label: SMWS Canada's Twitter avatar, unchanged for 10 years, is a wee moose in a kilt being poured a whisky. After naming this bottle “A Winter Getaway” they decided to depict him from behind, in sunglasses as he lazed on the beach overlooking the ocean - it all seems pretty Canadian!"
