Tasting Notes

Nose: A sophisticated bouquet of dried fruits, including figs and raisins, mingles gracefully with a subtle wisp of honeyed oak and a faint whisper of peat smoke. Notes of dark chocolate, spiced orange peel, and toasted almonds emerge, hinting at the complexity to follow.

Palate: The initial sip delivers a velvety smoothness, coating the tongue with rich caramel and decadent dark fruit compote. Layers of vanilla bean, ginger spice, and a delicate nuttiness unfold, balanced by a gentle, integrated smokiness that provides depth without overpowering. A distinct malt character underpins the fruit and spice.

Finish: A long, lingering finish that is remarkably smooth and warming. Sweet oak and subtle smoke persist, accompanied by a final flourish of dried apricots, a hint of leather, and a whisper of dark cocoa, leaving a sophisticated, memorable impression.
