Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with a warm copper-gold glow and a whisper of garnet at the rim.
Nose
Sweet sherry aromas weave with roasted hazelnut, soft fudge, and milk chocolate, followed by plump rum-soaked raisins. Bright flashes of fresh citrus peel emerge, while polished notes add a refined counterpoint to the sweetness.
Palate
Smooth and spicy; warm demerara sugar disperses over warming chilli, cinnamon, and clove spice flavours. Intense, thick-cut orange marmalade notes unfold into a lingering charred oak edge.
Finish
Long, spicy, and refined, with impeccably balanced warmth that lingers, leaving a nuanced, oak-kissed afterglow.
