Tasting Notes
Colour
Sun-kissed golden amber with coppery warmth and honeyed glints.
Nose
Creamy vanilla custard mingles with pineapple chunks in syrup on the nose, a luscious tropical bouquet—bright fruit, sun-warmed sweetness, and a silky, inviting depth.
Palate
Spice bursts on the palate, carrying a ginger heart amid an oak-bitter backbone, finishing with a fruity brightness.
Finish
Fruity to the last sip, with tropical and citrus notes lingering on the finish. A gentle ginger-spice warmth threads through, while an oak-kissed bitterness tapers softly into a bright, lasting fruit finale.
