Nose

Rich, elegant. Balanced mix of oak, dried fruits/peels, smoke, tobacco, nuts, sultana cake.

Palate

Medium- to full-bodied. Sweet start that soon picks up prickles of spiciness, then red fruits/cherry and dried fruits. Flows beautifully in the mouth: nutmeg, light syrup, oak, fruit cake. Utterly delicious, autumnal. Complex, gorgeous.

Finish

Dry, spicy, slightly smoky.

Comment

Real energy, drive and life. Classy.
