Tasting Notes

Nose Profoundly elegant aromas of antique leather, dried apricots, and walnut oil, interwoven with hints of dark treacle, cigar box, and polished oak. Palate Velvety and multi-layered, offering a refined medley of rich sultana, burnt orange, old sherry wood, and gentle waves of nutmeg, cedar, and black tea tannin. Finish Lingering and contemplative, with notes of fruitcake, tobacco leaf, and seasoned oak fading gracefully into a gentle warmth.
