- Nose
- Rich sherry, sweet caramel, and polished leather, with hints of cinnamon, cardamom, and dried fruits. Orchard fruit, honeyed malt, soft oak spice, vanilla, marzipan, and a whispering sea breeze are also present, alongside notes of salty, coastal air, berries, and a touch of mushroom earthiness.
- Palate
- An initial taste of sweet berries and cream evolves into a feast of roasted nuts and malt, with rich spice, dried fruit, and a sweet, rich oakiness. Notes of fruit compote, warm bread, creamy caramel, almond biscuit, ginger chews, old oak furniture, and well-worn leather provide depth, balanced by a slight tang of salt and citrus.
- Finish
- Soft and dry, with lingering notes of demerara sugar, mixed spice, nutmeg, and caramel. Spiced oak, orchard fruit, soft oak tannins, delicate caramel, and a hint of coastal salinity lead to a long, warm, and refined close, sometimes with hints of chai tea, powdered cocoa, chocolate, and cherry-soaked oak.
