Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with mahogany depth and coppery highlights.
Nose
Gloriously sherried on the nose, a rich tapestry of dark fruits—prune, raisin and fig—woven with walnut, toffee and a hint of orange zest, finished with a subtle wisp of peat smoke.
Palate
Peach and apricot infusion on the palate, bright and fruit-forward, harmonising with the deep sherry influence. At natural cask strength, it offers a silky, generous mouthfeel with a lasting, warm sweetness.
Finish
Exquisitely long and elegant, this finish carries a delicate peat smoke with earthy undertones, fading into a sweet, lingering warmth at the back of the mouth.
