Sensory Description
Pouring a deep ruby-to-garnet hue, White Christmas offers aromas of English toffee, dried fruit, cherry, and orange zest, accented by a gentle warming ginger spice. On the palate, the malt backbone delivers rich caramel and baked bread notes, while dark cherry and sweet orange peel create subtle fruit layers.

The medium-bodied mouthfeel invites slow savoring, making it a refined choice for holiday sipping.
