Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with luminous copper-gold edges and a touch of mahogany.
Nose
Silky and refined, the nose unveils dried fruits—raisin and fig—woven with toasted almond and vanilla. A delicate sherry lift threads orange zest and brown sugar through polished oak, while waxy malt lends texture. Light coastal salt and a whisper of spice add finishing grace to a restrained, elegant aroma.
Palate
Silky and refined, the palate opens with dried fig and date sweetness, tinged by orange zest. Sherried depth underpins cocoa and toasted oak, while wisps of spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—add warmth. A creamy vanilla thread guides a medium, enduring finish, leaving a gentle, nutty complexity.
Finish
Silky, enduring finish coats the palate with dried fig and raisin, a touch of cocoa and toffee, and warm spice. Oak lends a refined sweetness that lingers, fading to a soft, smoky echo.
