Pale gold in colour, with a pronounced nose of both tropical and stone fruits draped in a glossy coat of snug-fitting oak. There is more, butterscotch and bacon fat alongside a heart of pineapple and peach. The appetising palate makes good on this promise and exhibits complex layers of apricot, nectarine, vanilla, coconut, and apple. Barrel maturation notes come into play on an impressive finish. 2025–2027–MP
