Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Rich warm amber gold; deep colour from sherry cask influence, medium-full legs
Nose
Rich and inviting — honey, toffee apple, sherry sweetness with dried apricot, orange peel, and hints of ginger. Gentle nutmeg and cinnamon spice from sherry casks
Palate
Full and round. Double cask maturation delivers honeyed sweetness, dark chocolate, stewed apple, raisin, and a creamy butterscotch quality. Medium body with gentle sherry warmth and baking spice
Finish
Medium-long finish. Sherry sweetness fades through chocolate, gentle oak spice, and lingering dried fruit. Warm and comforting with a final touch of ginger
