Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Pale gold; natural colour, similar to the First Edition, thin to medium legs
Nose
Orange peel, vanilla, rich malt, almond, and barrel char. More developed than the First Edition with additional citrus brightness and nutty character
Palate
Caramel, earthy smoke, drying spices, and citrus. The barrel char adds a toasty dimension. More complex than the First Edition with better oak integration. Medium body
Finish
Long and delicately sweet finish. The earthy barley character lingers alongside vanilla and gentle spice. Clean and satisfying
