- Nose
- Fresh cloves, nutmeg, Christmas cake spices, thyme, earthy notes, creamy butterscotch, with hints of maple toffee, orange peel, toasted oak, sultana, and caramelised cereal. Also notes of rye bread, vanilla, butter, popcorn, and warming spices.
- Palate
- Bold rye spice with clove and cracked pepper, followed by maple syrup, orange marmalade, and a rounded wave of PX sweetness. Notes of honey on toast, cereal, brown sugar, almond, stewed apple, mace, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, anise, and black pepper. Underlying warm caramelized citrus fruit, wood sugars, and fudge.
- Finish
- Long, warming, and gently sticky with raisins, spiced syrup, cocoa, and lingering marmalade brightness. Sweet notes of perfume, banana, vanilla, lemon cake, and butterscotch, with a cleansing menthol-like sensation and a slightly bitter dark chocolate or cocoa note.
