Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep golden bronze with warm amber hues, rich and inviting appearance.
Nose
Soft peat smoke with fruity sweetness of red berries and stone fruit. Vanilla, dried wood spice, and subtle tobacco leaf emerge, balanced by floral notes and a touch of honey.
Palate
Medium-bodied with balanced peat and fruit, warming spice, and creamy mouthfeel. The interplay of smoke, red fruit, and oak creates complexity, finishing with gentle tannins and a touch of sweetness.
Finish
Finish builds with lingering smoke, ripe fruit, and warm spice that gradually fades into smooth oak and a whisper of dried tobacco.
