Our Tasting Notes
Nose: The aromas show plenty of ex-bourbon barrel influence with vanilla and tropical fruits, mainly mango and pineapple. Orange oil and toasted caramelised walnuts lead to sherry fruits of plums, figs and ripe apple.
Taste: Rich dark cherries, summer berries and tropical fruits. Toasted crushed nuts, peppermint and dark toffee combine with earthy oak and fresh citrus.
Finish: Long and sophisticated, fruity and complex. Nutmeg spice and garden herbs with some red chilli and plenty of fruit.
