Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright golden amber with warm honey highlights.
Nose
Vanilla-forward with toasted oak and rich caramel, balanced by honeyed sweetness and orchard fruit—pear and green apple. Lemon zest provides a bright lift, while a whisper of cinnamon and white pepper lingers. The ex-Bourbon cask adds warmth and depth, delivering a bold, inviting aroma that hints at the strength within.
Palate
Silky, full-bodied palate brims with vanilla bean, honeyed malt, and bright citrus zest. Bourbon-cask influence delivers toffee, toasted almond, and a measured spice that nudges toward white pepper. At 58.4% ABV the warmth carries through a long, warming finish of vanilla, ginger, and dried fruits, leaving an elegant, lingering orchard-fruit glow.
Finish
Long, warming finish that slowly reveals vanilla and honeyed oak, crowned by baking spices. Orange zest and green apple linger, with a gentle peppery fade that keeps the warmth alive long after the final sip.
