- Nose
- Sweet, fruity, and bright, with prominent notes of fresh green apple, dried cherry, and elegant wood spices like clove, nutmeg, and mace. Hints of golden syrup, vanilla sugar, cocoa powder, apricot jam, and tropical fruits such as papaya, mango, and pineapple are also present. [2, 3, 4, 8, 10, 11, 22]
- Palate
- Soft, sweet, and malty, offering a creamy texture with flavors of vanilla cream, crème anglaise, and a combination reminiscent of Maltesers. Tropical fruit notes, dessicated coconut, and warming wood spices like cinnamon, dried ginger, and clove emerge, alongside candied orange and bitter cocoa powder. Honeyed sweetness, sultanas, soft toffee, and mellow oak from the sherry influence are also evident. [2, 3, 4, 8, 10, 11, 22]
- Finish
- The finish is relatively short, with the sweet and fruity elements fading to reveal evolving wood spices and a distinct peppery heat. It is clean, smooth, warm, and slightly nutty, with a subtle sherry influence and gentle wood notes. [2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 22]
