Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Sweet sherried aromas weave into layers of roasted hazelnut, soft fudge, milk chocolate, and plump, rum-soaked raisins. Flashes of fresh citrus peel breakthrough and, combined with polish notes, balance the sweetness.

Palate: Smooth and spicy; warm demerara sugar disperses over warming chilli, cinnamon, and clove spice flavours. Intense, thick-cut orange marmalade notes unfold into a lingering charred oak edge.

Finish: Long, spicy, refined and well-balanced
