This is an impressive showing from milk and honey. It packs a punch in the heat department, but the flavors are bold and impressive. Lots of honey, bread, and savory spices mixed in with some light fruits. For 2 years old, this is an impressive showing and a distillery I am keen to taste some of their other expressions.
