Nose
Rich roast coffee aromas give way to fruitcake, subtle spice, and beeswax polish notes. Treacle toffee and charred oak with a hint of dark chocolate truffle.
Palate
Smooth with dried fig, dark cherries, and orange peel followed by dark chocolate flavors tempered by cracked black pepper and charred oak. Creamy and sherried with stewed fruits, baked apple and cinnamon, with a white pepper spice and a touch of menthol.
Finish
Full-bodied finish revealing lasting hints of oak and liquorice. Delicate cinnamon and baked apple notes linger on.
