Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, sunlit amber with copper-gold glints and a hint of mahogany, radiating coastal warmth and refined oak.
Nose
Coastal and refined, the nose offers sea-salted barley and honeyed malt, touched by vanilla and gentle oak spice. Subtle maritime brine, a whisper of wax, and light nutmeg drift through, while layers of dried orchard fruit deepen beneath polished, mature oak—an elegant, long-aged coastal aroma.
Palate
Silky and restrained, the palate delivers creamy malt balanced by subtle oak. Honeyed sweetness widens into vanilla and toffee, while dried-fruit depth adds warmth. Coastal brine and sea-spray lift the profile, with white pepper and nutmeg spice threading through. A long, refined finish carries maritime echoes and softly integrated oak.
Finish
Long, maritime finish with a whisper of sea air and gentle oak. The malt-led sweetness lingers, guided by soft spice and layered richness, evolving into a refined warmth that fades slowly, leaving a clean coastal echo and a faint saltiness on the palate.
