Colour: Natural toffee, rich, copper-mahogany
Nose: light caramelised pineapple & raisin, charred oak, with a wee cheeky hint of leather and toasted nuts. Don’t rush the nose…
Palate: A whirlwind of tropical fruit (Pineapples, pears, ripe starfruit), burnt sugar, layered with spicy black pepper and creamy vanilla – an unlayering experience
Finish: Complex, long, rich, warming with smoky wood, light maple, spiced, dry and toasted - its got this lovely clean sweetness to it.
