Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep rich amber with reddish-copper tones; viscous, full-bodied appearance with very slow legs
Nose
Deeply complex and refined — mature dried fruit (fig, date, prune), dark honey, polished oak, leather, and old sherry. Rich malt, walnut, and subtle pipe tobacco. Distinguished nose suggesting significant age
Palate
Exceptionally complex and layered. Rich dried fruit, dark chocolate, mature oak tannins, honey, and soft leather. Hints of espresso, walnut, black pepper, and Christmas cake. Profound depth with balanced sweetness and dryness. Thick, oily mouthfeel
Finish
Very long, distinguished finish. Mature oak, dried fruit, dark chocolate, and leather linger elegantly. Gentle warmth with subtle smoke and spice. Refined dryness emerges at the very end, leaving impression of polished antique wood
