This reads as firmly rich, with raisins, fig and toffee giving the palate plenty of weight. Dried apricot and fruit add some lift, so it does not seem limited to darker, sweeter notes. The finish brings mint and licorice alongside lingering dark chocolate sweetness. That mix of richness and a little freshness is appealing, though the profile sounds more dessert-led than delicate.

Bourbon, Madeira and sherry casks make a clear point of interest here, alongside notes of fruit, toffee and dark chocolate. Mint and licorice add a neat turn at the finish; the cask details don’t need to do all the talking.
