Tasting Notes

Nose

Soft vanilla, toffee and coconut leap from the glass, followed by notes of honey, banana and a subtle oakiness.

Palate

Creamy and rich with flavours of crème brûlée, tropical fruits and a hint of warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. The alcohol gives it structure without overwhelming the palate.

Finish

Long and silky with lingering sweetness from vanilla sugar, soft caramel and hints of oak and white chocolate.
