Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold sheen and a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Cereally on the nose, a delicate sweetness coats grainy malt with a refined, approachable brightness, hinting at restrained richness to come.
Palate
Silky sweetness coats the palate, lemon zest brightening a subtle cereal backbone. Smooth and layered, it carries a warm depth with a whisper of peat, finishing long, peppery and invigorating.
Finish
A long, peaty finish with a peppery prickle that lingers warmly on the palate.
