Nose
Pronounced fruitiness with oranges, peaches, apricots, and tropical notes, combined with strong nuttiness like hazelnuts, cashews, and almonds. Hints of chocolate, light leather, marzipan, raisins, malt, and allspice are also present.
Palate
Initially easy-going with stone and tropical fruitiness, transitioning to sherry influence with stewed berries, plums, and damsons. Creamy and rich with honey, butterscotch, ripe apple, roasted nuts, cloves, milk chocolate, and a touch of pepper spicing.
Finish
Short to medium in length, drying and oaky, with lingering sweetness of caramel and vanilla. Features light spiciness, a soft malty undertone, and subtle hints of dark chocolate and raisins.
