Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Bright gold; natural colour, non-chill filtered. Rich and viscous with slow heavy legs from 23 years of maturation
Nose
Startlingly floral — heady, almost perfumed honeysuckle and rose. Citrus, starfruit, and lanolin add texture to a rich malty spice. The sulphury backbone has transformed into something elegant and waxy
Palate
Waxy and wooly. Fragrant lemongrass and honeysuckle mingle with chamomile tea, ginger, and marzipan. The signature pineapple note is concentrated and caramelised — charred, sweet, slightly smoky. Salted caramel, creamy vanilla, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg
Finish
Sweet and unctuously textured. Extraordinarily long finish that persists so long it feels like it has become part of your tongue. The meaty character has fully integrated into complex waxy depth
