Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with coppery-bronze highlights, hinting at mahogany edges and a sherry-kissed glow.
Nose
Opulent and polished, the nose greets with dark fruit: fig, plum, and cherries lacquered in rich sherry. Candied orange, espresso, and cocoa mingle with honeyed oak and cedar. A ribbon of spice—cinnamon and clove—adds warmth, while a whisper of leather and tobacco hints at decades of maturity. Truly decadent and regal.
Palate
Opulent and velvety on the palate, Timorous Beastie pours with luxuriant sherry-edged fruit: dark fig and ripe raisin mingle with orange zest, cocoa and toasted almond. Rich spice—cinnamon, clove—drifts over warm oak and leather, finishing long, smooth, and gently smoky.
Finish
An expansive, velvet finish that lingers with dark chocolate, fig and toffee, threaded with toasted oak and spice. Sherry sweetness softens to citrus zest and leather, while a warming 54.7% glow lingers and gradually fades to a refined cocoa-dusted echo.
