Nose: The aroma opens with a bright and enticing bouquet of crisp green apples and fresh pears, quickly followed by deeper notes of vanilla custard, honeyed malt, and a light, biscuity sweetness reminiscent of shortbread
Palate: On the tongue, it feels mellow and well-balanced, featuring a silky mouthfeel that layers flavors of toasted marshmallows, creamy citrus, and soft apricot over a subtle foundation of gentle oak spice and malted cereal
Finish: The experience concludes with a clean, medium-length finish that leaves behind a pleasant warmth of peppery spice, lingering orchard fruit, and a final, faint touch of charred oak.
