Nose
Delicate and appealing with dark berries, dried fruits, rich sherry, spice, caramel, honey, dark chocolate, and toasted oak. Notes of toffee, butterscotch, dried cherry, cranberry, dehydrated apple chunks, leathery tones, soft citrus, Starburst fruit candies, chocolate orange, marmalade, blackberry, blackberry jam, and tobacco are also present.
Palate
Rich and full-bodied, offering dark, spicy notes with darker berries and drier fruits like dates, figs, and the essence of raisins. Luscious toffee and vanilla intertwine with a medley of ripe cherries, figs, a hint of citrus zest, warm embracing spice, and subtle smokiness. Dark chocolate, cocoa, and coffee notes provide a creamy texture.
Finish
Long and satisfying, initially astringent but opening up to a pleasant landing with fruity sweetness and light sherry notes. Echoes of dried fruits, rich malt, and a gentle warmth persist, alongside juicy Amarena cherries with dark chocolate, oak spice, and incredible sweetness with honey and caramel.
