Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and a honey-gold sheen.
Nose
Sherry-rich nose with ripe dried figs and raisins, and hints of plum and orange zest. Polished oak, vanilla and toasted almond provide a velvety sweetness, while cinnamon and nutmeg spice lightly frame the aroma. A decadent, fruit‑cake depth suggesting elegance and refinement.
Palate
Silky and medium-bodied, the palate opens with honeyed orchard fruit—pear and apple—kissed by vanilla and a citrus lift. Sherry influence deepens into rich dried fruit, fig and raisin, tempered by caramel and almond. Subtle cocoa and spice—cinnamon and clove—emerge, carried by refined oak. A lingering sweetness coats the tongue, finishing with warmth and a gentle, malty glow.
Finish
Elegant, long finish with honeyed orchard fruit giving way to vanilla and toasted oak. A subtle sherry sweetness lingers, unveiling dried fruit and almond, then a gentle spice and warm glow that slowly fades to a refined echo.
