Tasting Notes
Nose Fragrant notes of dried apricots, polished oak, and cocoa powder, laced with hints of tobacco leaf, caramel, and gentle sherry warmth.
Palate Silky and full-bodied with flavours of fruitcake, toasted almonds, and dark chocolate truffles, balanced by soft spice, orange peel, and a touch of earthy malt.
Finish Long and elegant—spiced fruit, leather, and fading sherry sweetness linger on a bed of seasoned oak.
