Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with sunlit honey tones and coppery glints, offering a warm, radiant glow in the glass.
Nose
Opulent vanilla and caramel rise from the glass, mingling with honeyed oak and soft toffee. Ripe orchard fruits—peach and apple—meet citrus zest, while creamy wax and a touch of spice (cinnamon, clove) unfold. A bourbon-sweet backbone lends warmth and depth, yielding a poised, inviting bouquet that hints at a long, luxurious finish.
Palate
Silky and substantial, it coats the palate with vanilla cream, toffee and caramel, backed by oak spice. Orchard fruit and a zesty citrus edge weave through warming notes of spice and honeyed sweetness. The bourbon cask lends depth and a long, refined finish of drying oak and dried fruit.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish of warm vanilla and toffee, framed by refined oak. Dried apricot and raisin mingle with subtle spice and citrus zest, as the bourbon cask sheen lingers. A mouth-coating sweetness gradually gives way to a soft, elegant echo of oak and spice, fading to a persistent, comforting fade.
