AMERICAN OAK SECOND-FILL

A full and sticky entry draws you in with a rich nasal texture, opening with a burst of Killer Python lollies and the bright citrus of limoncello. The sweetness deepens into comforting layers of apple pie, peach Danish, and whipped cream, softened by the richness of raw honey on the comb. Underneath, there’s an earthy brightness - balsa wood, pepper, and nutmeg - balanced with indulgent hints of vanilla bean, dates, prunes, and the warm, buttery scent of freshly baked biscuits. A delicate touch of mango skin provides a subtle tropical lift to this evolving complexity.

Slippery and full-bodied, the creamy texture wraps around the palate, delivering waves of apricot jam, starfruit, and the crisp bite of ripe red apples. There’s a spicy edge of ginger beer, followed by nutty warmth - walnuts, thyme, and a biscuity softness - all laced with silky white chocolate. A lovely lactic note (like fresh cream) brings a full, satisfying richness, while a lively thread of marmalade and mixed spice rounds out the profile.

White chocolate leads the charge into a bright, sunny finish, where jammy sweetness reigns. Sweet apples and soft pops of Moscato blend effortlessly with hints of Campari, before settling into a malty midsection of Horlicks. A delicate herbal note lingers in the background, while the palate is left coated with a satisfying combination of liquorice, salted caramel, cocoa, and the richness of blackberry tart. The finish holds on brilliantly, leaving behind a final impression of balanced sweetness and warmth.
