Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with warm coppery undertones and a touch of mahogany.
Nose
Soft and delicate on the nose, a malty, cereal core opens to sweet apricot, with hints of lemon meringue pie and orange peel; a soft citrus character develops slowly.
Palate
Sweet and sticky with a waxy, mouth-coating feel and a hint of aniseed. Lemon, pear drops and honey pair with milk chocolate and liquorice, giving a rich, malty sweetness that lingers with a touch of coastal warmth.
Finish
A gentle peat smoke lingers, carried by persistent malty, cereal notes that endure into the finish.
