Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Bright gold with warm amber edges; medium-full body. Natural colour, non-chill filtered. The quarter cask finishing adds depth to the appearance
Nose
Citrus fruits, creamy vanilla and yellow apples. Grassy notes, almonds, fresh oak shavings, coconut and nutmeg. A slight varnished kick from the cask strength ABV
Palate
Sweet fruity notes of pineapple, pear and lemon candy moving towards zesty grapefruit with chilli, ginger, coconut and a fresh mentholated layer. The quarter cask contact intensifies the spice and oak
Finish
Medium long on malty notes and fragrant woody touches. The intense wood contact from the small casks gives a lingering oak spice finish
