- Nose
- Rich layers of dried apricot, golden raisin, honeycomb, polished oak, crème brûlée, and warm baking spice. Subtle hints of roasted almond and citrus oil drift beneath the surface.
- Palate
Silky, full, and richly textured. Notes of fig preserve, dark toffee, vanilla cream, candied orange peel, milk chocolate, and spiced pear unfold in slow, elegant waves. Sherry casks add deep fruit tone while American oak contributes sweetness and lift. - Finish
Long, refined, and beautifully composed lingering notes of sherry-soaked fruit, sweet oak tannin, clove, and a final whisper of honeyed malt.
