Tasting Notes 

Nose- Delicious dry sherry aromas mingle with cinnamon and clove. Toffee apple notes give way to mixed peel gradually developing into subtle malty undertones.

Taste -Smooth and creamy; ripe apricots and stewed plum coated in orange marmalade lead into flavours of bitter dark chocolate highlighted by notes of blackberries, blackcurrants and sticky fig jam.

Finish- Long and lingering with nuanced aniseed, candied citrus peel and charred oak.
