Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with coppery undertones and a warm, mahogany-tinged glow.
Nose
Honeyed orchard fruits entwine with creamy vanilla and almond, while stewed fig and dried plum from the Oloroso finish deepen the bouquet. Subtle toffee, hazelnut, and orange zest weave through warm oak and spice, yielding a richly elegant, Sherry-tinged aroma.
Palate
Velvety and refined, the palate opens with creamy vanilla and caramel from Bourbon maturation, then gains depth from the Oloroso finish with dried fruit, fig, and toasted almond. Subtle citrus zest and orchard notes mingle with ripe malt, while warm spice and gentle oak provide structure. A long, elegant flow of sweetness, with hints of cocoa and a polished, lingering finish.
Finish
Long and refined, the finish layers sherry richness over bourbon sweetness. Dried fig and apricot mingle with orange zest and toffee, while oak-spice—cinnamon and clove—lingers with a warming, dry fade. A final whisper of cocoa and toasted almond holds on, noble and persistent.
