Tasting Notes

A second barrel, deeply toasted, and the result is unashamedly dessert-like. Maple and caramelised sugar with heavy wood — polarising if you want restraint, excellent if you want sweetness.

Nose

maple, toasted oak, dark caramel, vanilla

Palate

syrupy sweetness, caramelised sugar, cocoa, heavy oak

Finish

long, sweet, wood-driven

Best enjoyed neat, rocks.
