Tasting Notes
Colour
Radiant golden-amber with coppery highlights.
Nose
Elegant bouquet of polished oak and honeyed vanilla, with crème brûlée, toffee, and orchard fruit—peach and pear—kissed by citrus zest. Soft spices drift through a waxy, refined finish, with almond and brioche notes from long aging. A poised aroma that hints at grain sweetness and pot still depth.
Palate
Silky and luxurious, the palate presents creamy vanilla and honeyed toffee, layered with orchard fruit and a citrus lift. Subtle spice threads through refined oak from the aged grain and pot-still core, delivering a smooth, balanced mouthfeel and a long, elegant finish.
Finish
Silky, long finish with warm vanilla and honeyed fruit, folded with toasted oak and gentle spice. A creamy backdrop from the aged grain lingers, revealing candied citrus, almond, and a delicate kiss of cocoa as it slowly fades.
