Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with coppery hues and a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Warm corn sweetness with vanilla and caramel, folded into toasted oak. Light rye spice—cinnamon and clove—plus a bright citrus note mingle, yielding an inviting nose that promises depth and refinement.
Palate
Silky and medium-bodied, it coats the palate with caramel, vanilla, and toffee, balanced by corn sweetness. Spices unfold—cinnamon, clove, and a peppery kick—over oak, while dried citrus and dark fruit add depth. A creamy mid-palate leads to a long, warm finish where spice lingers with refined sweetness and a subtle whisper of smoke.
Finish
Long, refined finish that lingers with creamy vanilla and caramel, woven with toasted oak and a whisper of rye spice. The sweetness melts into orchard fruit and a warm, peppery glow that slowly fades into soft, lasting warmth.
