Fresh and vibrant, opening with citrus zest, green apples, and pear drops, followed by vanilla cream and honey. Subtle peat smoke and a saline coastal note emerge, alongside hints of toasted oak and malted barley. - Palate
Full-bodied and energetic, delivering flavours of toffee, caramel, and orchard fruits layered with warming spice—nutmeg, white pepper, and ginger. A gentle smokiness intertwines with a slightly oily texture, enhancing mouthfeel and depth. - Finish
Long and warming, with lingering spice, light ash, salted caramel, and a drying oak influence that leaves a clean yet robust impression.
