Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber with coppery highlights and a sunlit, honey-gold glow.
Nose
Toffee and cinnamon lead the nose, entwined with bread'n'butter pudding sweetness, a gentle spice, and a lush mantle of marzipan, all framed by generous oak.
Palate
Toffee and vanilla lead the palate, balanced by cinnamon and bread’n’butter pudding sweetness. A lush core of marzipan, apple and pear unfolds over creamy oak, with virgin American oak lending a warm, resinous backbone. The cask-strength depth coats the mouth, delivering a long, spicy, gently sweet finish with toast and oak lingering.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish filled with toffee and cinnamon, lifting bread'n'butter pudding into a warm, marzipan-dusted sweetness. A gentle spiciness from the oak lingers as the fruit notes fade, leaving a polished, enduring warmth.
