Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights, a sunset-honey glow.
Nose
Rich and inviting on the nose, dried figs and raisins mingle with orange zest, vanilla and toasted almond. Sherry-cask influence brings toffee, cocoa and a gentle spice, with a whisper of coastal air recalling its QE2 voyage.
Palate
Silky and refined, the palate opens with creamy vanilla and citrus zest, then reveals sherry-tinged sweetness. Dried fig and raisin meld with toasted almond, honeyed oak and a whisper of spice. The mouthfeel is smooth and light, finishing with a gentle cocoa note and a warm, lingering glow.
Finish
Long, elegant finish with gentle sweetness and spice. Dried fig, orange peel and cocoa fade into smooth oak, lightly seasoned by sherry. A soft, maritime warmth lingers, leaving a refined, velvety echo on the palate.
