Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Light gold with straw highlights; the virgin oak finishing adds a bright, clean colour. Natural colour
Nose
Heady virgin oak bursting with lemon zest and sweet barley sugar with delicious notes of apple and nutmeg. The new oak influence is present but not overwhelming
Palate
Delightful sweetness evoking candied fruits and vanilla toffee balanced with heather honey. The virgin oak finish creates a distinctive sweetness and wood spice character. Non-chill filtered at 46.3% for full body and texture
Finish
Satisfying light spice with a rewarding burst of honeyed malt and sweet oakiness. The virgin oak influence creates a clean, sweet conclusion
