Nose
Smooth, sweet, caramel and toffee. Mocha coffee, light dry aromas from the warehouse. Christmas cake and spices. Dried fruits, warm spices, subtle oak notes, and a hint of sherry.
Palate
Harmonious blend of flavors. Juicy raisins and sultanas mingle with rich toffee and dark chocolate, underscored by a gentle spiciness from the cask. Citrus zest. Rich and full-bodied. Fig jam, treacle, spiced fruitcake, and dark chocolate, complemented by notes of aged oak and nutmeg.
Finish
Long and satisfying, with lingering notes of oak and dark fruit. Lingering clove.
