Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale golden straw with warm honey undertones and a delicate amber glow.
Nose
Soft, inviting nose of vanilla and fresh citrus, wrapped around creamy malt. Sherry cask influence lends warmth and depth with dried fruit, raisin, and a touch of toffee and spice, unfolding as a balanced, gentle sweetness.
Palate
Silky and gentle on the palate, with creamy vanilla and bright citrus from the bourbon casks, layered by sherry richness. Dried fruits, toffee, and a touch of spice weave through the sweetness, delivering a refined, well-balanced mouthfeel that lingers with quiet warmth.
Finish
Long, silky finish with vanilla and citrus lingering alongside refined sherried warmth. Dried fruit and almond echo softly, touched by a gentle spice and a hint of cocoa, as the oak fades into a lingering, bright finish.
