Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, sunlit amber with coppery warmth and a subtle ruby glow.
Nose
Earthy, herbal depth grounds the nose, while vibrant ripe mango and juicy apple rise with tropical brightness. A delicate Banyuls wine-cask whisper lends subtle sweetness and spice, hinting at the finish’s dessert-wine character and the whiskey’s layered complexity.
Palate
Full-bodied and silky, with earthy, herbal depth supporting bright mango and juicy apple. Banyuls cask finish adds a subtle dessert-wine sweetness, while the ex-bourbon and Oloroso maturation lends structure that keeps the palate fruit-forward and remarkably smooth at 53.2% ABV.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish where Banyuls lingers with orchard fruit—ripe mango and juicy apple—woven with earthy, herbal depth. A velvety warmth coats the palate, leaving a refined oak-spice echo and a gentle sweetness that gradually fades into smooth, persistent complexity.
