Rich honey and toasted almond greet the nose, joined by stewed orchard fruit and a drizzle of butterscotch. A faint whiff of vanilla oak sits beneath.

Palate

Creamy despite the proof, delivering waves of baked pear, clove spice, and malt. The mid-palate darkens with cocoa and a gentle woody tannic grip.

Finish

Medium-long, with warming spice, orange zest, and lingering honeycomb sweetness.
