Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep golden amber with burnished bronze notes.
Nose
Rich and complex with honey, waxy orchard fruits, and hints of heather. Notes of vanilla, warm cereal, and subtle smoke emerge alongside aged oak character.
Palate
Robust and well-integrated with honeyed sweetness, spiced oak, and creamy malt. The cask influence is sophisticated without overwhelming, revealing layers of toasted grain and dried fruits with each sip.
Finish
Long, warm finish with persistent honey, spice, and a dry oakiness that lingers pleasantly with notes of candied orange peel.
