Tasting Notes

Nose: Fragrant sandalwood and rose incense drift over raisin loaf, blossom honey, coconut cream and a hint of cinnamon bark. Palate: Silky waves of treacle toffee, dark-chocolate truffle and malted biscuit coat the tongue, followed by ginger warmth, nutmeg and a bright flash of candied orange peel. Finish: Medium-long, warming and gently dry—lingering sherry-soaked fruitcake, sandalwood spice and a final flourish of vanilla-malt sweetness.
