Kit Aromas
Nose
Fresh-cut meadow grass and ripe peach open the nose, followed by honey and a subtle floral quality. A gentle nuttiness and malt sweetness anchor the whole.
Palate
Creamy and medium-weight. Buttery cereals meet stone fruit, with vanilla and a delicate clove spice emerging mid-palate. The Burgundy cask influence brings a winey depth without overwhelming the spirit.
Finish
Medium, clean, with lingering peach and a dry, woody close.
