Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep golden amber with honeyed warmth and coppery glints, luminous and inviting.
Nose
Sweet stone fruits and a delicate floral perfume lead the aroma, with hints of smoke that emerge with time. Initial notes of peaches in syrup, dried apricots, honeyed melon and ripe pineapple.
Palate
On the palate, light peat smoke elevates ripe fruit, then earthy leather and boot-polish deepen the profile. The oak lends backbone with sweet vanilla, chocolate and citrus weaving through the fruit-forward spirit.
Finish
Marine mineral notes fuse with earthy peat smoke, lingering on the palate with a bright citrus tang that threads through the final impression.
