Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Light golden amber with excellent clarity and a slow, oily tear.
Nose
Fresh and floral with notes of honeyed orchard fruits, subtle grass, and a hint of vanilla. The nose is delicate and refined with gentle spice undertones.
Palate
Smooth and creamy on the palate with citrus zest, green apples, and light honey. A pleasant spicy warmth develops with hints of cinnamon and a touch of heather, leading to a well-balanced mouthfeel.
Finish
Medium-length finish with lingering spice, orchard fruits, and a whisper of oak. Clean and satisfying with a subtle sweetness that fades gracefully.
