Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with radiant honey-gold highlights and a subtle mahogany edge.
Nose
Ripe orchard fruits rise with barley sweetness, while dark molasses and exotic spices weave through the aroma. A gentle lift of Jamaican rum-cask adds warm tropical notes, harmonizing with American bourbon character for vanilla-soaked oak and a lingering caramel finish.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied, the palate opens with ripe orchard fruits and barley, then generous dark molasses. The dark rum finish brings tropical warmth—banana and raisin—woven with toasted oak, vanilla, and subtle spice. A velvety texture carries sweetness into a refined, pepper-kissed finish.
Finish
Luxurious, lingering finish with dark rum sweetness: molasses and burnt sugar weave through warm spices—clove and nutmeg—carrying a Caribbean warmth on oak. Vanilla and toffee emerge softly as dried fruit and orchard notes fade, leaving a velvety, spice-laden fade that lingers long on the palate.
