Tasting Notes
Nose
Notes of Dundee cake with warm ginger latte, brandy snaps and sweet dried fruit; toffee apple, clove-studded blood orange, leather, honey-glazed ham and glace cherry. Aromatic spices mingle with wisps of wood smoke and cigar-box nuance.
Palate
A well balanced delivery of sweet dried fruit (raisin/date/sultana and fig) dry and meaty notes(treacle baked ham) woody notes (nutty oloroso sherry/charred vanilla resin) and spice (ginger/nutmeg/clove & cinnamon) add in some more layers of flavour in waxy orange, smoked glace cherry, sticky toffee, caramelised apple and some savoury leathery and you have one hell of a complex and rich body and mouthfeel.
Finish
Big and chewy with wave after wave of sweet dried fruit, savoury cured honey baked meat, aromatic tobacco, spicy & nutty sherry wood and an almost Cognac like grapey finish, i also got some dark chocolate and orange bitters towards an impressive end.
