Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with a warm, honeyed glow and subtle copper reflections.
Nose
Opulent and festive, the aroma greets with dried fig, prune and date, layered over warm vanilla–caramel and toffee. Rich dark chocolate and toasted oak lend depth, while orange zest peels through. Gentle spices—cinnamon, clove and ginger—drift in harmony, buoyed by a subtle sherry lift and a whisper of sandalwood, hinting at auspicious fortune.
Palate
Silky and luxurious, the palate slides with elegant velvet richness. Dried fig and raisin mingle with caramelized toffee, almond paste, and cocoa, all brightened by orange zest. Sherry-influenced oak lends structure, while cinnamon and clove pepper the finish. A refined, long, warm afterglow that lingers with complexity and finesse.
Finish
Silk-smooth and exceptionally long, the finish settles into velvety oak, dark chocolate, and dried fruit, with sherry sweetness rounding the edges of a gentle spice. A final whisper of tobacco and espresso lingers, leaving a refined, celebratory warmth that invites another sip.
