Tasting Notes
Colour
Radiant golden amber with honeyed warmth and a subtle coppery glow.
Nose
Opulent vanilla and creamy toffee lead the aroma, lifted by bright citrus zest and ripe orchard fruits. Subtle oak spice, almond, and a whisper of beeswax weave through honeyed sweetness, while a delicate bourbon-cask echo adds caramel depth. Elegant, refined and inviting.
Palate
Silky, mouth-filling texture with creamy vanilla, toffee and honey; unfolds orchard fruit notes, gentle citrus zest and almond. Subtle spice - cinnamon and white pepper - paired with refined bourbon oak sweetness, delivering a poised, lingering warmth on the palate.
Finish
An elegant, lingering finish that unfolds in plush vanilla and creamy toffee, threaded with refined oak. Baking spice and dried citrus mingle as a gentle warmth persists, leaving a silky, lightly nutty afterglow that lingers long after the sip.
