Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep gold with amber edges, natural color — significantly deeper than younger expressions reflecting extended maturation
Nose
Rich tropical fruit, dried apricot, honey, butterscotch, beeswax, toasted almond, polished leather, gentle floral perfume. Complex and inviting with a coastal thread
Palate
Full and rounded — tropical fruit, mango, papaya, honeyed malt, butterscotch, dark chocolate, mature oak tannins beautifully integrated. Salted caramel and a subtle maritime saltiness. Rich without being heavy
Finish
Long, elegant finish with lingering butterscotch, tropical fruit, toasted oak, and gentle maritime warmth. Dark chocolate and honey at the tail end
