Tasting Notes

Nose: Lush date syrup, heather honey and orange-peel marmalade drift over beeswax-polished oak, walnut loaf and a hint of espresso crema. Palate: Velvet waves of treacle toffee, malt loaf and black-cherry chocolate coat the tongue, followed by clove-spiked caramel, roasted hazelnut and a bright flash of candied citrus zest. Finish: Long, warming and elegantly dry—lingering sherry-soaked fruitcake, supple oak tannin and a final flourish of vanilla-malt sweetness.
