Tasting Notes
Colour
Light mahogany natural colour, with a warm amber-copper glow that hints at the sherry-influenced richness within.
Nose
Rich sherry on the nose, with dried raisins and fig, lifted by hints of orange zest and ginger. Ripe oak and toffee deepen the scent, while cocoa and mahogany undertones add elegance, signaling the 18-year maturation in Jerez-seasoned casks and a luxurious, velvety sweetness.
Palate
On the palate, a full-bodied sherry oak richness unfolds with ginger, raisin and mature oak notes, yielding a warm, enduring finish.
Finish
Long, warm and richly sherried, the finish unfolds with lingering raisin and ginger. Mature oak adds a velvety backbone, while hints of dark chocolate and spice drift away in an elegant, enduring warmth.
