Tasting Note:
'The Knight's Golden Triumph'
Matured in refill American Oak casks. 56.2% ABV.
Appearance: Gleaming gold with amber lights.
Nose: Subtly spiced cereal hints and sweetness entwine to suggest ripe
tropical mango, papaya, and peapods. Rising through this, traces of hard
toffee and light, sustained shavings of oak hint at the spicy intensity on the
palate. A splash of water reveals notes of cinnamon bun and salted toffee. Later, these fade appealingly to scented beeswax
Body: Medium.
Palate: Silky and smooth-flowing in texture with an intense butterscotchsweet taste, which mellows into rich caramel toffee. A balancing spicy-dry,
oaky intensity appears mid- palate. Adding water softens the honeyed
sweetness to creamy-smooth Swiss milk chocolate, with just a little salt midpalate. Gentle spice now holds the sweetness in check.
Finish: Short and quite intense, with considerable warming chili spice. With
water sweeter, the spice reduced.
