Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with rich mahogany hues and coppery highlights, a warm, inviting glow.
Nose
A bouquet reminiscent of old sherry bodegas with aromas of roast pecans, praline, fruitcake and leather.
Palate
Opulent and rich, the palate unfolds in layers of crème caramel, toasted oak and rolling tobacco, entwined with treacle, stout and cacao, with a final whisper of liquorice.
Finish
Complex and long, with caramelised nuts and star anise, a dark chocolate ganache fading into stem ginger and gentle spices. A warm, lingering finish that continues to unfold on the palate.
