Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep amber-gold with warm copper highlights; brandy cask gives rich, warm golden-amber colour
Nose
Fruit and grape spirit — dried grape, prune, vanilla, toffee, hazelnut, orange blossom. Brandy cask adds distinct grape spirit character. Honey, warm spice, dried apricot. Elegant and warming
Palate
Full body. Rich grape spirit character — prune, raisin, toffee, vanilla, honey, hazelnut. Brandy cask adds unique depth different from wine casks. Orange blossom, dried apricot, warm oak spice, gentle tannins. Tropical fruit emerges mid-palate behind brandy richness
Finish
Long finish. Grape, dried fruit, toffee, nutty warmth persist. Orange blossom and vanilla at close. Brandy cask is an inspired choice — grape spirit character complements tropical maturation differently from sherry or wine
