Nose
Sweet and inviting with aromas of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and Christmas cake. Hints of dried fruit, toffee, and subtle oak. Rich and fruity, with sherry-soaked fruits, Christmas pudding, sweet caramel, vanilla toffee, ripe pears, and orange juice.
Palate
Rich and smooth with layers of creamy vanilla, sweet toffee, and festive spices. Notes of raisin, fig, and orange zest unfold alongside soft oak and honeyed malt. Sweet and zesty, with smooth indulgent caramel, orange, and a hint of festive spice. Incredibly sweet with succulent tangy orange flavours and bursting with fruit, finishing with a superb taste of liquorice root and ginger.
Finish
Long and warming with a gentle spice that lingers, complemented by a touch of chocolate and dried fruit sweetness. Long, full, and wonderfully sweet, with dark chocolate and gentle spice. Fruit, malt & honeycomb combine to give a warming hug on your chest with a wee puff of smoke.
