Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-mahogany highlights and a warm honey-bronze glow.
Nose
Opulent and layered, this nose exudes dark chocolate and honeycomb, underscored by maple, toasted waffle and a whisper of liquorice. Peppermint and rye spice lift the aroma, while a rich oak char provides a warm, savory backbone reminiscent of maple-cured bacon. A refined, long-lingering sweetness hints at the 12-year maturation.
Palate
Silky and substantial, this pours forward with chocolate and honeycomb sweetness interwoven with toasted waffles and liquorice. Maple-cured bacon adds a savory warmth, while peppermint cools the mid-palate. A bold rye backbone and rich oak char drive to a long, refined finish.
Finish
Elegant, prolonged finish with dark chocolate and honeycomb sweetness tempered by toasted oak. A thread of peppermint and liquorice lingers, while rye spice fades into a warm maple-cured bacon undertone. The finish remains refined, branded by charred oak and a whisper of sweetness that echoes long after the last sip.
