Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm ruby glow, a sherry-tinged radiance that suggests rich, caramel-toned maturation.
Nose
Opulent and warm, the nose unfolds with orchard fruit—ripe pear and crisp apple—backed by a subtle sherry-touched richness. Vanilla, toffee and almond ride atop toasted oak, while delicate spice notes of nutmeg and ginger mingle with dried fig and cocoa. A bold, resinous perfume that hints at cask strength and maturity.
Palate
Velvety and full-bodied, it coats the palate with orchard fruit sweetness that deepens into dried fig, raisin and prune. Dark chocolate, toffee and vanilla fuse with spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—while a subtle Sherry lift adds depth. The 54.2% ABV delivers a warming peppery bite, finishing long with toasted oak, almond and citrus zest.
Finish
A long, opulent finish that clings to the palate with dried fruits, orange zest and cocoa, balanced by toasted oak and warm spice. The sherry depth lingers as a soft, syrupy sweetness, gradually fading into peppery warmth.
