Tasting Notes
Colour
Glowing amber with coppery honey highlights.
Nose
Delicate, inviting nose of orchard fruit—ripe pear and green apple—woven with honey and vanilla. Soft toasty oak, almond, and a shy touch of sherry; a light malt sweetness lingers, finished with subtle spice and elegant brightness.
Palate
Silky and refined, the palate opens with orchard fruits—peach, pear and a touch of apple—kissed by vanilla and a hint of caramel. Subtle spice and toasted oak weave through the mid-palate, with a gentle nutty layer and a bright citrus lift. The finish is delicate and honeyed, underscored by malt and soft vanilla.
Finish
Silky, long finish that lingers with dried fruit—raisin and fig—alongside cocoa, toasted almond, and a touch of oak spice, fading to a warm, peppery echo.
