Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Rich amber gold with bright clarity and a slow, oily viscosity.
- Nose
- Sweet vanilla and caramel notes lead the way, followed by subtle oak and a hint of cherry wood. Light spice notes emerge on extended nosing.
- Palate
- Smooth and approachable with flavors of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak. The palate develops hints of dried fruit and a gentle warmth, with a balanced sweetness that isn't cloying.
- Finish
- A warm, medium finish with lingering vanilla and oak notes. The sweetness slowly fades into a subtle spice that encourages another sip.
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
