Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Golden straw with honey highlights; lighter colour than wine-cask Discoveries, bright and luminous
- Nose
- Smoked honey — peat smoke, honey, apricot, peach, vanilla, Sauternes dessert wine sweetness. Beautiful sweet-smoky contrast. Floral notes and gentle campfire
- Palate
- Medium body. Smoked honey and apricot, peach, vanilla custard, peat smoke. Sauternes sweetness wraps around peat creating something like smoked dessert. Honey, golden syrup, gentle ash
- Finish
- Medium finish. Sweet smoke — honey, apricot, peat fade together. Gentle and approachable. Sweetest Discovery series expression
