Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Warm amber-gold with honey highlights; richer than Classic, reflecting premium cask selection
Nose
Elevated Classic profile — honey, vanilla, tropical fruit, dried fruit, gentle spice. Richer and more complex than standard Classic. Mango, orange peel, toffee, light oak. A celebratory blending exercise
Palate
Medium body. Honey, vanilla, mango, dried fruit, toffee, gentle spice. More depth than Classic — premium cask selection is evident. Orange peel, light chocolate, coconut, cream. Refined and balanced
Finish
Medium-long finish. Honey, tropical fruit, gentle spice, vanilla fade gracefully. Commemorative but genuinely superior to standard Classic — not merely repackaged
