Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a mahogany-tinged edge, radiating a warm, sunlit glow.
Nose
Opulent vanilla and dark caramel rise from the glass, braided with toasted oak and rich leather. Dried fig and raisin weave through brown sugar and toffee, while warming spice—cinnamon, nutmeg, clove—adds depth. A whisper of orange zest and espresso shadows the long, refined oak finish.
Palate
Silky, full-bodied palate of vanilla caramel and toasted oak, with dried plum and fig unfolding into cocoa, brown sugar and espresso. Hints of orange zest and baking spice weave through a velvety mouthfeel, while charred oak lingers into a long, warm finish with nuanced spice.
Finish
Long, elegant finish with toasted oak, vanilla and caramel fading into warm cinnamon spice and dark chocolate. Dried fruit notes emerge as the char softens, leaving a silky, oak-driven tail that lingers with refined warmth.
