Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany glow.
Nose
Raisin and date open the bouquet, lifting to wisps of peat smoke, interwoven with pipe tobacco, bright orange peel and ripe pear.
Palate
Luxuriously creamy and oily on the palate, with a delicate veil of smoke. Raisin and date lead to orange peel and ripe pear, while gentle peat and pipe tobacco lend depth for a refined, lingering finish.
Finish
Long and luxurious, the finish lingers with dried raisin and date, touched by orange peel and a soft wisp of peat smoke. Tobacco notes unfold over a creamy, oily warmth, settling into a refined, persistent sweetness.
