- Nose
- Aromatic with sherry-influenced notes of peach, apricot, molasses, and blood orange. Also, sherry-soaked fruit, dried peels, date and walnut loaf, buttery malt, Christmas cake, treacle sweetness, nuts, leather, light woody notes, summer fruit, cinnamon, printer's ink, complex baking spice, and candied citrus.
- Palate
- Sublime, filled with nutty chocolate and Melton Hunt cake. Also, blackberries, honeycomb, dark chocolate bitterness, oaky spice, orange oil, red fruits, pepper spice, olde candy, and a tidalwave of sherry pulling through malty roasty notes and candied citrus.
- Finish
- Long, intense, and sweet with delicious heavy spices imbibed from the Oloroso casks, a dash of coffee mocha, and sumptuous dark chocolate. Also, cinnamon, nutmeg, redcurrant jam, lingering notes of drying oak, fruit, and pepper, deep dark fruit, malt, and candied citrus.
