Serving & Food
Neat, at room temperature, in a tulip glass; a gentle swirl brings the aroma up if the bottle has been open a while. Try it with Stilton and oatcakes, slow-roasted pork belly, or honey-roasted cashews.
Good to Know
What's the mash bill? Corn and wheat with malted barley, no rye.
How does it taste? Savoury and leathery.
