Tasting Notes

Nose A rich bouquet of polished oak, honeycomb, and dried orchard fruits, lifted by hints of waxed leather, cedar, and heather smoke. Palate Silky and complex, revealing layers of golden syrup, dried figs, and lemon zest, with evolving notes of nutmeg, old books, and spearmint. Finish Exceptionally long, with a refined echo of spiced wood, dried herbs, and a warming wisp of smoky malt.
