FLAVOUR PROFILE
Honey
Citrus
Spices
Vanilla
Oak
It still has that honey, vanilla, citrus flavour from the first fill Bourbon casks – but you’re also getting something a little bit different, too. There’s a smokiness and an oakiness. It’s a heavier note, with more wood influence. Extra depth
THE TASTING NOTES
-
Nose
Big malty notes, soft brown sugar, vanilla toffee, blossom honey and a mild oaky spiciness.
-
Taste
Syrupy with a toffee sweetness, some citrusy notes of tangy orange peel, followed by oak vanilla and a touch of cinnamon and ginger spices at the end.
-
Finish
Enduring gentle waves of vanilla and oak spices.
