Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with mahogany depth, coppery highlights and a warm, burnished glow.
Nose
Aromatic warmth of malt and brown sugar, enhanced by oaky vanilla, sits beside fruity wine notes of creme de cassis and balsamic strawberry. Hints of honey, spice and hay weave through, adding depth and a poised, enigmatic sweetness.
Palate
Velvety, full-bodied palate of malt, brown sugar and oaky vanilla, balanced by fruit-forward notes of creme de cassis and balsamic strawberry. Hints of honey, spice and hay lift the mid-palate, finishing with warm, lingering depth.
Finish
Long, contemplative finish of vanilla and oak, with brown sugar sweetness giving way to fruit-wine echoes of creme de cassis and balsamic strawberry. Subtle honeyed spice and a whisper of hay linger, fading into warm, elegant oak.
