Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and burnished mahogany edges, a warm, sherry-kissed glow.
Nose
Ripe orchard fruits—pear and sunlit apple—rise over a warm, malty base, touched with honey and vanilla. Subtle almond and spice weave through polished oak, with a hint of orange zest and toffee. Elegant, restrained, and inviting—a nose that promises quiet depth.
Palate
Silky, malt-forward on the palate with dried fig and raisin sweetness woven through orange zest and toffee. Sherry influence brings walnut, cocoa, and spice, while subtle oak provides backbone. Medium-length finish hints of leather and espresso with a gentle, lingering warmth.
Finish
Long and elegant, the finish drapes the palate in warm sherried sweetness—prune and raisin mingle with cocoa and toasted nut, while gentle oak and spice fade to a satin-smooth final glow.
