Hints of honeyed malt and light citrus zest round out a warm, inviting nose
👄 Palate

Starts with a cocoon of buttery caramel and creamy toffee, followed by sweet apple, barley malt, and vanilla
-
Underlying oak spices and gentle smoke build toward the middle, with a touch of sultana/dried fruit for depth
-
Some notes report a mild metallic edge or dryness—but overall it's smooth and well‑balanced

Medium‑long finish combining wood smoke and oak spice, with lingering fruity sweetness—think sultanas, Werther’s candy vibes, and butterscotch .
