Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh and explosively fruity – green apples, young pear and loose vanilla from the bourbon oak. A light sweetish note of preserved fruit complements the clean malt base.

Palate

Light, fruity and sweet with classic bourbon cask character. Green fruit and juicy apple dominate, and at 59.8% there is enough strength to carry the sweetness without becoming heavy.

Finish

Fresh and short to medium length with a warm, lightly sweet oak close.
