Tasting Notes
Nose
Aromas of warm citrus and tropical fruit mingle with sweet malty flour, unfolding to reveal the fruit’s sweetness tempered by oak and malted Bere barley. Fragrant peach skin, vanilla pods and candied orange brighten the glass, while delicate rose and violet notes drift in with time.
Palate
On the palate, the presence of the malted grain is unmistakable with notes of popcorn, brown sugar and warm porridge. The Bere barley provides a soft, rounded mouthfeel, beautifully complementing the sweet, stoned fruit notes. Apricot, peach, melon and candied orange are balanced with the gentle influence of the oak, which adds a hint of vanilla, coconut and marzipan.
Finish
Milk chocolate, malted grain and crème brulee add to the soft finish, while a hint of mango and orange blossom honey linger.
