Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with gleaming copper highlights and a whisper of mahogany, a warm, sunlit hue that suggests sherry-influenced maturity.
Nose
Opulent sherry aroma blankets the glass: prunes, raisins and fig mingle with toasted almond, cocoa and soft molasses. A thread of orange zest, cinnamon and clove adds spice, while polished oak and vanilla breathe beneath, promising a lush, velvety sweetness to come.
Palate
Silky, medium-full on the palate, this Macduff Connoisseurs Choice delivers depth from sherry maturation. Dried fruits—raisin, fig, and cherry—collide with toasted almond, orange zest, and warm spice, edged by cocoa. Candied citrus and toffee drift over velvet oak, finishing with lingering spice and nutty sweetness.
Finish
A long, refined finish of sherried sweetness and gentle spice. Dried fig and date echo on the palate, wrapped in cocoa nibs and toasted oak, fading to a warm, velvety glow that lingers with quiet complexity.
