Nose
Light vanilla, honey, a gentle cereal sweetness. The double wood maturation — bourbon followed by sherry — adds a touch of dried fruit and a warm spiciness. Simple and approachable.
Palate
Smooth and sweet — toffee, vanilla, a gentle sherry warmth. The blend is young and straightforward, with the double cask maturation providing more interest than a single wood would achieve. A touch of dried apple and a gentle spice mid-palate.
Finish
Short to medium, with vanilla and a gentle, honeyed warmth.
Expert Review
