- Nose
- Intense aromas of ripe fruit, vanilla, and a hint of spices. Rich malt, honey, vanilla, oak spice, and hints of dried fruit. Sweet, notes of sherry, caramel, honey. Barley candy, plum jam, mint leaves and milk chocolate. Sultanas in spirit, plums, cooked pears, marzipan, caramel, liquorice root. Candied orange and milk chocolate.
- Palate
- Full-bodied with notes of honey, spice, and a subtle malt sweetness. Powerful and full-bodied with flavours of sweet malt, caramel, peppery spice, toasted oak, and dark fruit. Fruity, notes of sherry, vanilla. Dates and dried fruit glide oily, with a cheerful peppery thrust, accompanied again by prunes and sultanas with a sprinkling of cinnamon and nutmeg, along with candied orange, caramel and chocolate.
- Finish
- Long-lasting, spicy, and warming with slightly smoky nuances. Long and warming with lingering spice, oak, and malt sweetness. Long on the palate. Fairly long finish of hazelnuts, liquorice, caramel and wood.
