Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with a warm, honeyed glow and a subtle sunlit copper sheen.
Nose
Ripe orchard fruit perfumes the glass—pear, apple, a touch of peach—layered with honeyed malt, vanilla bean, and soft toffee. Creamy, lightly spiced, with orange zest brightness and a delicate almond note. Subtle oak and a sun-warmed sweetness give the nose a poised, inviting richness that lures you toward the sip.
Palate
Silky, honeyed on the palate with orchard fruit brightness and orange zest. Subtle sherry depth introduces dried fig and raisin, balanced by creamy toffee and malt. Gentle spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—lingers behind a velvety texture, supported by soft oak. The finish is long, warming, and refined, with a delicate nutty edge riding a persistent sweetness.
Finish
Warm honey and vanilla lead the finish, with soft orchard fruit and a whisper of spice lingering on the palate. Subtle oak and malt sweetness persist, slowly fading into a resinous glow and a final lift of citrus zest that lingers with gentle warmth.
