Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with warm copper highlights and a honeyed glow.
Nose
Waxen and coastal, the nose opens with citrus zest—orange and lemon—over ripe fig and raisin. Sherry maturation brings toffee, almond, and a whisper of cocoa, while vanilla adds silk and warmth. A delicate sea-salt lift and a waxy barley core linger, hinting at elegance, restraint, and quiet depth.
Palate
Silky, waxy on the palate, with bright citrus zest, pear and green apple draped in honeyed vanilla. Subtle almond and white spice mingle, while a whisper of maritime brine keeps it fresh. Finishes long and warm, hints of oak and gentle nutmeg, leaving citrus oil and honeyed sweetness lingering.
Finish
Long, elegant finish with a warm sherry sweetness. Dried fig and orange zest mingle with cocoa and spice, while a waxy, coastal edge lingers. The oak stays refined as almond and a faint marine lift fade into a softly drying, lasting impression.
