Colour

Warm golden amber with sunlit copper tones and a honey-glow.

Nose

Pronounced citrusy notes—lemon meringue pie—combined with sherbet, almond pralines and custard creams.

Palate

A well-evolved palate that belies its nine-year youth. Intense, like an alcohol-infused lemon Callipo. Almond and raisin nougat, with a ribbon of honey. Plush spice builds toward the finish as the rye cask flexes its muscle, delivering cinnamon and ginger.

Finish

Long, warming finish dominated by rye-spice: cinnamon and ginger ride a citrus zest, with honeyed almond nougat lingering, fading to a peppery warmth that lingers into the aftertaste.
