Product Details

Nose: Light and fruity with notes of green apple, pear, and vanilla. Hints of toasted oak and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg emerge. A subtle grassy undertone reminiscent of fresh hay adds complexity.

Palate: Smooth and creamy texture. Initial sweetness of honey and ripe stone fruits gives way to rich flavors of butterscotch, toffee, and baked apples. Gentle spice notes of white pepper and ginger provide balance. The influence of both bourbon and sherry casks is evident, contributing layers of vanilla and dried fruit.

Finish: Medium to long. Warm and slightly drying with lingering notes of toasted oak, caramel, and baking spices. A touch of dark chocolate and orange zest appears at the very end, leaving a pleasant, subtle bitterness that invites another sip.
