Tasting Notes
Aroma
Open and creamy with vanilla fudge, coconut, and cream caramel. Behind this, lemon oil, green apple, and ripe pear, with a soft malty note reminiscent of freshly baked cookies. With some time, light spices emerge—ginger and white pepper—plus a hint of honey.
Taste
Full and punchy, clearly cask strength, but beautifully balanced. First vanilla and toffee, followed by citrus zest and juicy orchard fruit. The mid-palate gains more tension with toasted wood, a touch of ginger, peppery warmth, and a light nutty note that keeps the sweetness in check.
Finish
Long and slightly drying with persistent vanilla, citrus oil, and toasted wood notes. In the finish, spiciness and a fine bittersweet citrus note linger for a moment.
