Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold glow and a hint of mahogany at the rim.
Nose
An elegant, sherried bouquet unfurls slowly: stewed fruits, orange zest, and winey raisin rise over toasted almond, vanilla oak, and malt. Subtle spice—nutmeg and clove—adds warmth, while cocoa nibs and fig lend depth. A whisper of leather and tobacco threads through, giving the nose a refined, contemplative finish that hints at rare, age‑worthy stature.
Palate
Silky, medium-bodied palate with dried orchard fruits and fig from the sherry cask, complemented by walnut and orange zest. Vanilla and toffee drift through, supported by gentle spice and polished oak. The finish is warm and lingering, with cocoa and dried fruit notes.
Finish
Long, refined and warmly sweet, the finish lingers with sherry-driven fruit—figs and raisins—softened by cocoa and a hint of leather. Oak lends gentle spice, letting an elegant fade persist with quiet grace.
