Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber with copper-gold highlights and mahogany undertones.
Nose
Madeira-finished aromas unfold with sun-dried fruits—raisins and figs—brightened by orange zest. Praline sweetness knots with toasted oak spice as a gentle wisp of smoke lingers, delivering refined, confectionary depth and nutty sophistication.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied on the palate, the Madeira finish gilds rich dried fruit with orange zest and velvety praline. Subtle smoke threads entwine with oak-driven spice, delivering a measured sweetness that lingers into a spice-dusted, caramel-tinged finish. Elegant balance between fruit, wood and ember, with a refined 46% presence that coats the palate without heaviness.
Finish
An elegant, extended finish where dried fruit sweetness deepens into candied orange peel and praline, braided with a gentle wisp of smoke. Oak spice lingers, warm and refined, with Madeira’s raisiny sweetness softening the heat to a silky, enduring finish.
