Nose
Intoxicating bread batter and canned fruit medley character reminiscent of childhood, with raisin, jammy stone fruit, and dried grape. Thick, sweet compote-like qualities with pastry dough notes suggesting cobbler or bread pudding.
Palate
Caramel drizzle over concentrated fruit with dried grape and raisin character. Baking spice and the base spirit complement the Tokaji finish elegantly. Rich and dessert-like without becoming cloying.
Finish
Long, warming finish with sustained caramel, raisin, and dried grape notes. The Tokaji and base spirit remain in perfect balance throughout.
Overall Score
4.6 / 5
A dessert-forward, expertly finished single malt where Tokaji and base spirit complement each other seamlessly, delivering concentrated fruit, caramel, and spice in an elegant, warming pour.
