Tasting Profile:

Nose: Sweet and aromatic with notes of vanilla, honeycomb, and creamy fudge. Hints of tropical fruit, orange zest, and caramelized sugar evoke the scent of a summer dessert.
Palate: Silky and luscious. Flavors of honey, peach, and mango melt into layers of malted cream, biscuit, and soft oak spice. There’s a delightful sweetness reminiscent of waffle cones and vanilla custard.
Finish: Long, smooth, and comforting, lingering notes of vanilla cream, citrus, and soft oak warmth.
