Tasting Notes

  • Nose

    A bouquet reminiscent of old sherry bodegas with aromas of roast pecans, praline, fruitcake and leather.

  • Palate

    Opulent and rich with overlapping layers of crème caramel, toasted oak, rolling tobacco and treacle mingled with stout, cacao and a hint of liquorice.

  • Finish

    Complex and long with notes of caramelised nuts, star anise, dark chocolate ganache fading into stem ginger and gentle spices.
