Appearance

Deep autumn gold

Nose

Rich combination of vanilla and caramelized sugars, dark chocolate on top. Ripe melon and mango, kiwi with fine mix of citrus fruits. Pepper in background.

Palate

Caramelized sugar, vanilla and dark chocolate. Surprisingly easy-drinking despite high ABV. All complexity from nose translates to clean, long-lasting palate.

Finish

Very long, clean with dark chocolate and tropical fruit persistence

Pairing Notes

Best enjoyed after dinner. A peak in whisky.

Verdict

Deep autumn gold color. A peak in whisky — all complexity from the nose translates to a clean, easy-drinking, long-lasting palate. Best enjoyed after dinner.
