Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Pale gold with warm amber highlights, crystal clear appearance.
Nose
Fresh coastal air with hints of vanilla and dried stone fruit. Subtle notes of honey and light oak come through on the nose. There's a gentle sweetness reminiscent of caramel and toffee.
Palate
Smooth and approachable with a sweet entry of vanilla and honeycomb. Mid-palate reveals dried apricots, subtle spice, and a touch of sea salt minerality. The mouthfeel is creamy with pleasant oak integration.
Finish
Medium-length finish with lingering oak, vanilla, and a dry coastal minerality. Gentle warmth fades gracefully with hints of honey and stone fruit.
