- Nose
- Bold and expressive. Aromas of rich dried fruits (golden raisin, orange peel, steeped fruits like booze-soaked raisins, sultanas, stewed apples), vanilla, warm oak, ginger, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and a perfume-y sherry oak character. [5, 13, 14]
- Palate
- Full and rounded with fruitcake, dark chocolate, orange, cherries, clove, sherried sultanas, dark honey, cinnamon, toasted nuts, ginger syrup, and a balance of sweetness and spice. [5, 13, 14]
- Finish
- Lingering and warming with oak, spice, sweet dried fruit, black pepper, stem ginger, clove, nutmeg, and a gentle fade of soft smoke. [5, 13, 14]
