Nose: Rich aromas of stewed apples, apricots, and honey combine with vanilla custard and a subtle hint of beeswax. Delicate notes of white pepper and toasted almonds add further depth.

Palate: Full-bodied and creamy with a silky waxy texture. Flavours of ripe peach, baked banana, and vanilla fudge are beautifully balanced by hints of oak, citrus, and spicy ginger. The high ABV provides impressive intensity while remaining refined and approachable.
