Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep bronze-amber with warm copper highlights.
Nose
A gentle, warming smoke drifts over honeyed malt and banana bread, while oak sweetness lingers. Phenolic notes return with a peppery, floral edge, inviting further exploration.
Palate
Rich, honeyed texture that slowly builds into sweet, mellow oak. Leather and toasted wood mingle with delicate smoke, weaving a balanced, harmonious profile where oak and smoke complement each other rather than overpower.
Finish
An enduring, warming finish of delicate smoke that lingers through leather and toasted oak. Pepper and floral notes ride the peat, slowly fading into a refined, dry sweetness. A long, balanced resolve that leaves the senses soothed by warmth and subtle sophistication.
