Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with copper highlights and a mahogany-tinged glow.
Nose
Warm, honeyed rum-cask sweetness leads to tropical fruit notes of banana, mango and orange zest, dusted with brown sugar and vanilla. Rich oak adds spice and creaminess, while cacao nibs and tobacco lend velvety depth and a cigar-box nuance on the nose.
Palate
Silky and elegant, the palate reveals vanilla, toffee and caramel, lifted by tropical rum-cask warmth. Ripe banana and dried apricot mingle with dark chocolate and toasted oak, while cinnamon and nutmeg weave through the profile. A balanced sweetness lingers into a long, warm finish of spice and cocoa.
Finish
Opulent and long, the finish lingers with Caribbean warmth: toasted sugar and vanilla mingle with dark chocolate, dried citrus, and a kiss of tropical rum spice. Velvet, palate-coating sweetness gives way to a refined oak hug, leaving a smooth, lingering ribbon of cocoa, citrus zest, and a subtle tobacco glow.
