Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery mahogany undertones.
Nose
Sherried richness unfolds from the glass—dark fig and raisin wrapped in toffee and vanilla, with orange zest and cocoa. Nutty almond and walnut join a whisper of spice, while creamy oak lends elegance and a faint sea-breeze ballast that keeps the sweetness in graceful balance.
Palate
Silky and medium-full, the sherry-cask coats the palate with red-fruit richness—raisins, fig, dried cherry—alongside dark chocolate and toffee. Spices unfold softly: cinnamon, nutmeg, a hint of clove, with toasted almond and orange zest. The 48% warmth yields a creamy, mouth-coating feel, finishing with oak polish and a gentle maritime whisper.
Finish
Silky, long finish of rich dried fruits—raisins, fig and date—caramel, dark chocolate and a touch of orange zest. Subtle oak spice and a whisper of sea salt thread through, leaving a warm, resinous glow that lingers with refined, sherried sweetness.
