Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep tawny amber with coppery, mahogany hues and a warm, port-influenced glow.
Nose
Fresh berries, buttery malt and sweet nuts rise in the glass, weaving a warm, inviting aroma with a soft, toasty depth.
Palate
Cherries mingle with peppery malt and a whisper of floral honey; a balanced, slightly waxy sweetness, threaded with gentle spice and a warm, lingering presence.
Finish
Milk chocolate sweetness lingers, unfolding into a delicate floral aroma, while baking spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, clove—warm the palate, leaving a creamy, cocoa-dusted finish that lingers with graceful length.
