 Tasting notes from Jim McEwan

Aromas. The fruitiness is fabulous; Guava, honeydew melon, and succulent grapes all encased in a bubble of sweet oak vanilla, honey drizzled hazelnuts and warm toasted barley. With time and a dash of water floral notes rise serenely - primrose and Lily, marigolds and bog myrtle. It has depth and complexity thanks to the skill of the distillers, the coastal influence and the magic of the Chateau d’Yquem cask.
