Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Rich mahogany with deep reddish-brown hues from sherry influence.
Nose
Dried fruits, particularly raisins and dates, lead the nose. Warm spice, cinnamon, and subtle chocolate emerge. Underlying floral notes and wood polish.
Palate
Full-bodied with sherry sweetness balanced by oak tannins. Dried fruit, chocolate, and warming spices coat the palate. Complex with layers of fruit cake and cinnamon.
Finish
Long, warming finish with lingering chocolate and dried fruit notes. Spice fades slowly with pleasant oak dryness.
