Tasting Notes

Nose: A delicate and inviting bouquet, showcasing honeyed sweetness, intertwined with soft vanilla, hints of dried fruit (apricot, raisin), and a subtle nutty undertone. A touch of malty richness and a whisper of oak spice add complexity.

Palate: Smooth and approachable, the palate delivers a beautiful balance of sweet and malty notes. Golden honey and crème brûlée lead, followed by orchard fruits – baked apple and pear – alongside gentle spice of cinnamon and nutmeg. A faint citrus zest brightens the mid-palate, leading to a creamy texture.

Finish: A clean, medium-length finish that is warming and sweet. Lingering notes of honey, vanilla, and a dry oak influence persist, leaving a pleasant, comforting aftertaste with a touch of gentle spice.
