Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a sunlit, honey-warm glow.
Nose
Rich, sweet nose with baked cereal notes and a dusty touch of toasted almonds and oats. Honey and toffee syrup mingle with stewed apples, vanilla and a biscuit sweetness. Honeyed oatmeal and malt loaf frame freshly baked flapjack, while seconds bring apricot, orange oil and sultanas to the fore, softly fruity and inviting.
Palate
Creamy and cereal-rich on the palate, with honeyed oats and toasted almonds upfront. Flapjack-sweet malt sits alongside vanilla and a biscuity warmth, while dried apricot, orange oil and sultanas brighten the mid-palate. The finish is creamy and medium in length, carried by vanilla custard with gentle hints of desiccated coconut.
Finish
Creamy, medium-length finish with vanilla custard and subtle desiccated coconut notes.
