Tasting Notes

Nose: Lush pineapple compôte, candied lime peel and golden syrup intertwine with polished oak, soft beeswax and a teasing coastal brine. Palate: Silky floods of molasses toffee, ripe mango and coconut cream glide across the tongue, enlivened by vanilla pod, ginger warmth and a subtle maritime salinity. Finish: Long, warm and satin-smooth—lingering notes of rum-soaked raisin loaf, mellow oak spice and a final wisp of salted caramel.
