- Nose
- Very rich and complex, with strong scents of dried fruits, Christmas pudding, coconut cream, vanilla, sticky toffee pudding, and sandalwood. Notes of coffee, treacle, tobacco, orange marmalade, brown sugar, soy, and hoisin are also present, alongside holiday-spiced fruitcake, black cherries, dark brown sugar, graham crackers, French vanilla, toasted hazelnuts, rancio, boozy prunes, oak, beeswax, and camphorwood.
- Palate
- A jammy and syrupy affair with a cloud of mild spice dust, vanilla pudding, and a creamy texture. Juicy sultanas, a mild hint of phenol, and a perfect degree of wood tone are present. It offers soft oak spices, burnt toast, resin, dark chocolate, mint, coffee grounds, tobacco, thick toffee sweetness, blood orange zest, peppery spice, black cherry, ripe prune, campfire smoke, hazelnut, cinnamon, citrus, and overripe stone fruit.
- Finish
- Brilliantly refreshing with a minty shade and a sweet tone. Long, with molasses, spices, nougat, a whisper of bitter chocolate, candied pineapple, black plums, maraschinos, dark rum, balsamic reduction, toasted buttered crumpets, lingering coffee, menthol, oak, and a delicate sweetness.
