Tasting Notes

Nose: Enticing wafts of baked apples, vanilla custard, and a touch of honeyed cereal, underpinned by subtle floral hints Palate: Smooth layers of toffee, poached pear, and delicate malt glide across the tongue, enlivened by a sprinkle of ginger and cinnamon Finish: Medium-length and warmly comforting, tapering off with soft fruit sweetness, a subtle oak presence, and a gentle maltiness that lingers
