Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale gold with a delicate, sun-kissed glow.
Nose
A robust, alcohol-forward nose with a fierce initial bite that demands respect. It softens to reveal marzipan and coconut, lifted by candy floss sweetness and a bright apple freshness.
Palate
Bold and vibrant at 56% ABV, this palate opens with marzipan and coconut, interwoven with candy floss sweetness and crisp apples. A warming, mouth-coating edge lingers briefly, finishing with pear drops.
Finish
Short and bright, the finish delivers a fleeting pear-drop sweetness with wisps of candy floss and green apple, fading quickly to a clean, warming echo.
