Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Bright gold with a warm straw tint; medium-full body. The first-fill bourbon cask exclusive maturation keeps the colour lighter than the sherry-finished siblings
Nose
Maritime aromas first, becoming sweeter and rounder with caramel and vanilla bean. Top notes are faintly waxy but mainly mineral and maritime — soft sea breezes, slaked lime, and salt crystals
Palate
Powerful vanilla sweetness and spice with hints of salt and pepper reaching a smooth crescendo. Waxy in texture, robust taste sweet with toffee notes then lightly salty, soon cradled by growing peppery warmth
Finish
Long and spicy finish maintaining the jazz metaphor — the crescendo builds through pepper, vanilla, and maritime salt. The bourbon cask influence is unmistakable in the vanilla-toffee sweetness
