Tasting Notes
Colour
Radiant golden amber with sunlit straw highlights, deepening to a copper-tinged edge and a warm, honeyed glow from decades of oak.
Nose
Sweet and almost industrial in character, with a bright aldehydic lift. Coconut macaroons mingle with marzipan, a delicate, waxy grain sweetness lending a refined, well-aged perfume.
Palate
Sweet and nutty (predominantly almonds). Coconut toasties, butterscotch and vanilla shortbread.
Finish
Silky, long finish of almond and coconut sweetness, balanced by vanilla and toffee. A gentle oak kiss carries the warmth into a creamy, dessert-like finale that lingers on the palate, with a soft underpinning of spice.
