Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale gold with a sun-kissed honey hue and a delicate amber edge, a refined, translucent glow.
Nose
Soft, fragrant notes of green apple and pear mingle with honeyed vanilla from the bourbon maturation; beneath, Amontillado sherry adds almond, hazelnut and dried fruit, with a citrus zest lift and a whisper of oak.
Palate
Silky, light-bodied palate with citrus zest and green apple, framed by vanilla and honey. The Amontillado finish adds refined almond, walnut and toffee, a whisper of sherry warmth, and a delicate dryness. Smooth and elegant, with a lingering nutty finish.
Finish
Delicate Amontillado sherry sweetness coats a bright, fruity core, with almond, orange zest and dried fig notes. The finish is refined and medium-long, lightly oaken, warming the palate with subtle spice as the fruit lingers into a graceful, refined aftertaste.
