- Nose
- Instant deep dark burnt sugar, dry fruits bursting with raisins, dates, prunes, figs, mellowed into a rum soaked plum Christmas cake, musty old antique furniture polish, rancio element, well oiled leather, demera reduction blending with laguna custard, cinnamon, cloves, Demerara sugar and Pedro Ximenez sherry notes, dark chocolate and figs.
- Palate
- Strongest 'old leather' quality, compared to a grandfather's tobacco pouch, allspice added to the cinnamon and cloves, ripe dark cherries, luxuriant chocolate-coated raisins, wave of spices, explosion of sweet molasses, Demerara, and mocha.
- Finish
- Dry, warm and beautiful, prunes, gentle and medium in length with notes of cappuccino, dark chocolate and a whisper of fennel.
