Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep amber with warm ruby-copper highlights; Madeira cask gives rich, complex colour
Nose
Madeira wine richness — caramel, dried fig, orange peel, walnut, brown sugar, vanilla. Madeira's oxidative character adds unique nutty-sweet dimension. Tropical fruit, leather, gentle spice. Wine-forward but distinct from sherry or port
Palate
Full body. Rich Madeira character — caramel, dried fig, walnut, orange marmalade, brown sugar. Madeira wine's distinctive oxidative richness meets tropical fruit. Vanilla, leather, warm spice, gentle tannins. Complex and layered
Finish
Long finish. Caramel, dried fruit, walnut, Madeira warmth persist. Orange and leather at close. Travel retail exclusive that showcases yet another inspired cask choice from Ian Chang
