Tasting Notes
Nose
Sherry butt aromas surge from the glass: burnt plum and fig, raisin and black cherry, lush dark cocoa and espresso, bound with toffee. Spices—nutmeg and cinnamon—drift with tobacco leaf and leather, while polished oak and a hint of resin lend lacquered, antique depth, with a bright orange peel lift hinting at a long, opulent finish.
