Elegant and quietly mature, with creamy malt, buttery wafer, vanilla and citrus framed by delicate wood and fine spice. The palate remains light on its feet, balancing caramel malt with cinnamon, floral notes and a gently tonic, tart-oak edge. Time in refill American hogsheads shows as restraint rather than heavy sweetness. The finish is dry, fragrant and persistent, leaving soft florals, vanilla and measured spice.
