Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep golden amber with coppery hues and a mahogany sheen.
Nose
Salt-kissed coastal air and sea spray mingle with soft waxy barley, lemon zest, and honey. Subtle sherry sweetness reveals dried fig and raisin, while toasted almond and warm vanilla oak add depth, with a faint maritime brine lingering.
Palate
Silky, medium-bodied with honeyed sweetness and bright citrus zest resting on creamy vanilla. A coastal, saline thread weaves through light oak and waxy notes, while delicate sherry fruitiness adds depth with touches of almond. Mid-palate reveals gentle spice and malt sweetness, leading to a long, refined finish charged with maritime warmth.
Finish
Coastal and refined, the finish carries a whisper of sea air, honeyed fruit and vanilla. Subtle oak and spice mingle as a gentle saltiness lingers, fading into a long, elegant fade.
