Tasting Notes
Colour
Warm amber-gold with honeyed depth, a coppery sheen and mahogany undertones.
Nose
Opulent and inviting, the nose blends sun-warmed honey and vanilla with orchard fruits—apple and pear—while toffee and caramel drift from the bourbon influence. Sherry maturation adds depth: dried fig, raisin, and a whisper of orange zest, toasted almond and baking spice. Subtle oak binds it with a creamy, waxy lilt, hinting at the rich, malt-forward sweetness to come.
Palate
Silky and balanced, the palate opens with honeyed vanilla and creamy toffee, then unfolds into polished dried fruits from sherry cask maturation. Subtle spice—cinnamon and clove—adds warmth over a soft malt core, with bourbon influence imparting caramel and a touch of oak. The finish is long and refined, echoing fruit, spice, and a lingering, gentle sweetness.
Finish
Silky and expansive, the finish unfolds with warm vanilla and honeyed sweetness, carried by almond and toffee notes from the sherry and bourbon casks. Dried fruit and orange zest linger, supported by soft oak and gentle spice, fading to a long, refined glow.
