Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and a burnished mahogany edge.
Nose
Honeyed sweetness rises, tempered by oak. Sherry whispers deepen with dark fruits—raisin, fig—and orange zest, layered over baked apple and pear. A gentle spice of cinnamon and nutmeg lingers, with cocoa and almond, finishing in a warm, velvety malt haze.
Palate
Silky and honeyed, with orchard fruits and creamy malt. Sherry sweetness deepens to raisin, orange peel and a hint of nutty caramel, while oak adds quiet structure. The palate stays polished and balanced, delivering warm spice and a long, refined finish.
Finish
A long, velvety finish of dark fruit and sherry sweetness. Raisin, fig and orange peel dissolve into cocoa and toasted spice, with honeyed malt lingering. Warm oak and a whisper of cinnamon and clove carry the finish, fading to a refined, gentle dryness that invites the next sip.
