Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, inky mahogany with coppery highlights; a glossy, syrupy chestnut hue that flashes ruby in the light.
Nose
Like lifting the lid of a humidor, candied apples rise with the roasted aroma of fresh coffee grounds.
Palate
A savory, smoky bite of beef jerky and spent matches gives way to peach jam on buttered toast, lifted by sherry-rich sweetness and a warming kiss of spice that lingers luxuriously.
Finish
A long, moreish finish where juicy fruits linger against peaty warmth and the velvet sweetness of PX sherry. Dried fig, orange zest and cocoa notes drift through the fade, leaving a warm, spiced echo that invites another sip.
