Tasting Notes
"Vibrant and with plenty fresh fruits, mainly of the citrus family, as well as a touch of floral sweetness. There's a good amount of crème brûlée and vanilla too. The mouthfeel is buttery, but the new oak certainly has left its mark on the palate. Roasted peanuts and almonds, but it's also rather peppery, while there are touches of oat cookies. The nose provided such a good start—truly excellent—but the virgin casks have been rather (too) influential in terms of taste."
