While you’ll want to hold onto Bottle No. 399 as a collectible, you’ll probably want to crack open the extra bottle. If so, you’ll be met with honey, berries, and cinnamon spice notes on the nose. The palate is a medley of white chocolate, red fruit, and brown sugar. The finish is a mix of candied ginger and sweet vanilla beans.
