How it drinks

Sight
Light golden amber with bright clarity.
Nose
Fresh citrus and floral notes with hints of vanilla and oak. Subtle tropical fruit undertones emerge with aeration.
Palate
Smooth and balanced with sweet malt character, gentle spice, and light oak influence. The palate shows honeyed tones with a touch of white pepper and delicate fruit.
Finish
Medium finish with lingering vanilla sweetness and a whisper of oak dryness. Clean and approachable with a subtle warming sensation.

Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
