Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery glow and a warm mahogany edge.
Nose
Dense peat smoke and earthy embers form the core, lifted by orchard sweetness from Calvados— ripe cider apples and pear, with vanilla-soft oak in the background.
Palate
Powerful, velvety palate of peat smoke layered with toasted American oak, tempered by Calvados-apple fruit. Bold peat meets orchard sweetness—green apple and pear—with a whisper of vanilla. Spice builds, leading to a resinous, smoky finish. A mouthwatering harmony of earthy peat and aged cider fruit that lingers with refined sweetness.
Finish
Long and captivating, the finish blooms with peat smoke and orchard apple sweetness, the Calvados cask lending warm apple notes and gentle spice. American oak adds a toasty backbone as the fruit fades to a refined, lingering dryness.
