Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with honeyed copper highlights.
Nose
Opulent bouquet of vanilla bean, caramel and honey, lifted by orange zest and lemon glaze. Creamy bourbon oak and warm spice—cinnamon and ginger—frame delicate orchard fruit, pear and green apple, with a subtle coconut note. A waxy, refined aroma born of fifty years in cask, inviting slow, scented sips.
Palate
Silky, honeyed and refined, this palate unfolds with velvety vanilla, caramel and toasted oak, shaped by bourbon-influenced sweetness, balanced by orchard fruit and a bright citrus lift. Creamy malt, almond paste and a whisper of ginger spice deepen the sweetness, while a long, warm finish reveals dried fruit, waxy notes and gentle oak. A timeless, contemplative mouthfeel that lingers with elegant warmth.
Finish
Long, warm and satin-smooth, the finish pours vanilla and caramel from the bourbon cask, with subtle coconut and toasted oak, a citrus twist and gentle spice that lingers into a refined, creamy fade.
