Tasting Notes
Color: Bright burnished copper
Nose: A rich and inviting aroma featuring notes of brown sugar and toasted bread, enhanced by the warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg, and a touch of vanilla. Additional subtle hints of baking spices and milk chocolate provide a complex and enticing flavour to capture.
Palate: The palate opens with flavors of peaches and cream, balanced by a peppery spice that adds depth. Caramel sweetness and hints of citrus and summer fruit contribute to a bright and lively taste. Notes of vanilla and a touch of musty oak provide additional complexity, creating a well-rounded and enjoyable experience.
Finish: The finish is moderately long and carries both sugary sweetness and spice. Notes of caramelized brown sugar, peach, and pear linger alongside a slight kick of heat, followed by a touch of musty oak funk, leaving a satisfying and memorable conclusion.
