Tasting Notes
Colour
Warm amber with copper-gold highlights, a glossy, honeyed hue that glows with rich caramel depth.
Nose
Vanilla and caramel rise from the glass, with toffee and a touch of maple. Toasted oak carries gentle rye spice, while bright orchard fruit and orange zest lift the aroma. A subtle weft of spice and warm sweetness lingers, inviting another inhalation.
Palate
Silky and full on the palate, vanilla and caramel drive the sweetness, with notes of toffee and toasted oak. Gentle spice—cinnamon and white pepper—emerges, joined by a citrus brightness. Smooth, balanced and refined, a classic bourbon that lingers with quiet warmth.
Finish
Silky, warm finish with vanilla and caramel lingering long after each sip. Toasted oak and a hint of spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—carry through, leaving a balanced, smooth echo of sweetness with a gentle oak whisper.
