Sherry sweetness gives the dried fruit and molasses a generous centre, while nutmeg and the larger spice notes keep it from reading as simply sugary. The finish brings together cocoa, fruitcake and peppery spice, a combination that fits a preference for sweetness with a clear spicy counterpoint. Oak is present too, including a slightly astringent edge on the palate, making the character seem richer than purely soft or confectionary.
