Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright golden straw with warm honey-amber highlights.
Nose
Aromas rise with creamy vanilla and coconut from virgin North American oak, bright citrus zest, and orchard fruit, green apple and pear, over a delicate toasted oak sheen. Subtle almond, white pepper spice and a whisper of caramel finish the nose, bright, elegant, and distinctly virgin oak.
Palate
Silky and creamy on the palate, propelled by vanilla and coconut from virgin North American oak. Bright citrus zest and green apple mingle with pear, backed by a gentle white-spice echo. Light, fruit-forward sweetness and a mouthfeel enriched by triple distillation, finishing in a soft, resinous oak kiss that lingers with a refined, citrus-dusted warmth.
Finish
Vanilla bean, creamy toffee and coconut lead the finish, lifted by bright citrus zest. A medium-long fade of soft oak spice and caramel coats the palate, with a delicate peppery nudge and toasted oak warmth. The Virgin Oak influence lingers elegantly, leaving a polished, fresh palate and a subtle, lingering sweetness that slowly recedes.
