Tasting Notes
- Nose
- Warm maple syrup, caramelized ginger, light vanilla, fresh orchard fruit (pear, baked apple), and subtle toasted oak a soft, inviting bouquet that balances sweetness with cask character.
-
Palate
Silky, smooth and layered notes of Chantilly-cream sweetness, light fruit salad (peach and apricot), soft toffee, gentle baking spice, and vanilla cream. The American-oak maturation brings a polished oak sweetness and a gentle warmth to the mouthfeel. -
Finish
Medium-long, with lingering vanilla, soft oak tannin, a touch of warm spice, and residual fruit sweetness elegant and approachable, but with enough depth to linger.
