Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with sunlit gold and copper highlights, a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Opulent rye spice floods the nose, mingling with toasted oak and Chardonnay-influenced vanilla. Pear and white peach brighten the aromas, joined by brioche, almond paste and a hint of butter. A subtle peppery lift from the grain adds refinement, while a creamy, warm core lingers into the finish.
Palate
Rye-forward spice—pepper, clove and warm rye bread—meets a creamy, orchard-fruit core. The Chardonnay cask imprints vanilla, white peach and lemon zest through toasted oak and almond, with a subtle caramel undercurrent. The finish is long and elegant, lingering with spice, citrus brightness, and a softly waxy, buttery fade.
Finish
Long, warming finish with Chardonnay-dusted oak. Creamy vanilla and orchard fruit linger, evolving into rye spice, white pepper, and toasted grain. The warmth stays, gently drying, leaving a citrus-brushed, oak-spun finish.
