Taste & character

Aroma A rich and enticing bouquet. The notes of roasted grain and malt are immediately recognisable, beautifully complemented by aromas of vanilla, apricot, and a subtle spicy touch of juniper, liquorice, and the typical wood tones of the barrique.

Taste The mouthfeel is full, oily, and extremely balanced. On the palate, layers of caramel and dried fruit unfold, supported by a striking balance between the powerful maltiness and the soft spices. The alcohol percentage of 40% supports the full body, with the complex nuances of the oak lingering long and harmoniously.

Finish A long, warming finish. The notes of vanilla and malt slowly fade away, making way for a clean impression of mild spices and a refined, round finish.

Serving tips & combinations

• Pairing: Excellent with Dutch delicacies such as aged crumbly cheese, smoked eel, herring, or a piece of dark chocolate with sea salt.

• Characteristic: Contains more than 51% malt wine; at least 2 years of barrel ageing on Limousin oak.
