Color: Golden yellow.
Aroma: Surprisingly elegant for a Croftengea, opening with notes of honeysuckle and ripe peach. Followed by a touch of sweet peat, malted barley, raisins, and freshly baked white bread.
Taste: Juicy and floral, with notes of grilled peach and dried flowers blending into creamy vanilla. Pineapple, caramel, and a tangy note reminiscent of salt & vinegar crisps stand out, all wrapped in peaty smoke.
Finish: Good length, with citrus notes, candied orange, lingering embers that dry the palate, black pepper, cinnamon, and a subtle hint of raisin.
