Kit Aromas
Nose
Ripe peach and honey dominate, layered with vanilla and a subtle almond sweetness. Behind it, buttery pastry notes emerge alongside gentle malt and a faint whiff of dried apricot.
Palate
Silky and medium-bodied, with caramel and peach compote leading to warm clove spice. Toasted oak and a trace of cocoa develop mid-palate, and the malt character stays consistent throughout.
Finish
Clean and moderately long, fading through honey, vanilla, and a woody dryness.
