- Nose
- Wonderfully aromatic and fragrant, with touches of honey, hazelnuts, mandarin oranges, sweet toffee, ripening barley, baked peaches, lemon peel, and a light nutty scent. Other notes include ripe stone fruit, candied orange, caramel, chocolate hazelnut spread, salted caramel, red apple, vanilla toffee, citrus, pineapple, apricot, and a cinnamon bready cake aroma.
- Palate
- A gently spicy mouthfeel with a burst of sweet and spicy flavours including heather honey, gingerbread, hazelnut praline, fudge, toffee, and a touch of clove. The Amontillado cask derived nuttiness is present and well-integrated. Other notes include baking spices, crumbly fudge, barley sugar, frangipane, toffee apple, treacle, chocolate, honeycomb, vanilla cake, banana pudding, nutmeg, honey graham, dried fruit, roasted nuts, light baking spice, and hints of mandarin, vanilla, and coconut. It can swing from dry to sweet with spiced and earthy notes like wet soil, dry oak, and sandalwood.
- Finish
- Gloriously creamy and spicy, with notes of gingerbread, hazelnuts, and toffee. Lingering aftertaste of almond marzipan, coconut, baking fruit loaves, candied nuts, winter spice, and a spicy finish of well-toasted tea loaf. Medium length with banana pudding, honey graham, and spice fading evenly.
