Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-bronze hues and a warm honey glow.
Nose
An exuberant bouquet of spices—black pepper, clove and cinnamon—fuses with rich toffee, salted caramel and vanilla. Hints of orange zest and dried fruit rise against a veil of peppery smoke and oak, creating savory-sweet complexity with coastal saltiness. Subtle sherry nuance threads through, inviting the next inhale.
Palate
Big-bodied and vibrant on the palate, Spice King unfurls a lively peppery spine with notes of clove, ginger and cinnamon. A complex sweet-salty core sways between caramel, toffee and salted butter, while subtle smoke and spice weave through. Creamy, slightly oily texture from non chill-filtration supports a long, warming finish with lingering pepper and a touch of char.
Finish
Long, warming finish of sweet-salty spice and peppery smoke, lingering with ember-like warmth and a delicate fade of spice.
