A fabulously bold, classic Bourbon; brimming with aromas of caramel, antique polish, char and syrup. The palate reveals further complexity and intermingled flavours of butterscotch, black tea and hedgerow fruit alongside tones of savoury pepper and toasty oak. Sublime!

An enticing blend of herbaceous notes and warm baking spices greets the senses, unfolding into a creamy palate with layers of stone fruit, subtle florality, and balanced oak.
The nose reveals honeyed notes of dark cherry, leading to an elegant, chocolatey palate with notes of vanilla and orange zest. The experience evolves with a touch of dry woodiness on the finish.
Roasted nuts and meadow flowers dance elegantly with vibrant oranges, creating a harmonious depth. The palate is a symphony of cinnamon rolls and almond paste, leading to a balanced, lingering finish.
Balanced with an oak-dominant character that offers great complexity and beautiful texture. An appealing grain profile.
Orchard fruits and sweet vanilla start with plenty of subtle flavours lined up elegantly. Great structure with a mellow but nicely focused edge and medium body. … This will be excellent neat or on the rocks.
The palate gives a rich and complex flavour of warm liquorice, instant coffee and bakewell tart. The finish has some sweetness but more astringent and tannin notes of well brewed tea and oak.
