Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper‑gold highlights and a honey‑warm glow.
Nose
Old oak yields an astringent, tannic bite as the malt travels toward citrus marmalade; the two strands spar, tempered by a honeyed glow and a whisper of oiliness, yielding a weirdly wonderful, deeply inviting nose.
Palate
Old oak delivers astringency and tannic bite, while the malt threads citrus marmalade through the core. The two strands spar, grippy yet refined, tempered by a touch of oiliness and a honeyed sweetness that lingers.
Finish
Oak-forward and tactile, the finish opens with firm astringent tannins that give way to citrus marmalade and honey. The two strands clash yet hold in balance, with a faint oiliness kept in check, leaving a long, warm, refined fade that lingers with subtle resin and spice.
