Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich tawny amber with copper-gold highlights and a sun-warmed mahogany core.
Nose
A decadent chocolate mudcake scent with generous cocoa, opening into a briny, coastal note that lingers like the ocean. Dusty dates mingle with peach liqueur and burnt fig ice cream, while faint milk bottles and cola keep the aroma soft, balanced and inviting.
Palate
Soft, gentle and thick on the palate, with a plush, indulgent texture. Chocolate cake and raspberry jam mingle with fluffy marshmallow, while coconut notes drift with pine-lime and tapioca pudding. Subtle whispers of earthy coffee and cigar add depth.
Finish
Candy-rich finish with chocolate and confection sugar like M&M's, punctuated by peanut brittle and sticky date pudding. A deep pruney note lingers, while subtle earthy, coffee and cigar whispers echo the palate. The briny, oceanic note reappears as the sunset fades.
