Tasting Notes

Nose

Sultana, fig, winter spice — cloves, cinnamon — vanilla fudge, cut grass, apple peel, light smoke — rich and inviting

Palate

Sweet and full — barley sugar, honeycomb, chocolate orange, dried apricot, nougat, tropical fruit, honey, raisins, cherries — the Oloroso finish adding depth

Finish

Long, dry, chewy oak — cracked pepper, ginger — the 18 years and sherry finish creating a finish that lingers beautifully
