Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with warm honey and copper highlights.
Nose
Guava, melon, grape and peach perfume the nose, unfolding into creamy vanilla and warm spice with a subtle tropical lift.
Palate
On the palate, mellow oak wraps around butterscotch and nougat, with honey and vanilla fudge lending creaminess. Apple and pear brighten the mid-palate, while peppery, gingery spice provides a lingering, warming finish.
Finish
Long, creamy finish with vanilla, honey and butterscotch lingering over mellow oak. Orchard notes of apple and pear persist as the sweetness eases, while a peppery-gingery spice leaves a warming, gently spiced echo that fades into a soft, luxurious warmth.
