Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and a hint of mahogany, a warm chestnut glow.
Nose
Sherry-kissed and opulent, the nose offers dried fig, plum and raisin, entwined with dark chocolate and espresso. Toasted oak, orange zest, and a touch of cinnamon and clove bring warmth, while hints of leather and treacle linger, signaling the depth of 24 years in a single cask.
Palate
Concentrated and velvety, the palate unveils rich sherry-influenced sweetness: dried fig, raisin and date mingle with dark chocolate, espresso and orange zest. Spices—cinnamon and nutmeg—linger over a polished oak backbone, while a touch of leather adds depth. The finish is long, warm and refined, leaving a cacao-dried fruit echo that lingers gracefully.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish that unfolds in waves of sherried richness—raisin, fig and dark chocolate melted with orange zest. Spices arrive late: cinnamon and clove, tightening to toasted oak and subtle leather, then a warm, peppery fade that lingers with a soft, malt-dusted sweetness.
