Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep amber with burnished copper hue; rich viscosity from extended maturation. Full and lustrous
Nose
Dense and intriguing — dried fruit, cedarwood, leather, and tobacco. Roast chestnuts, chocolate and dark berries. Gentle toasty maltiness with expressive antique oak, dried herbs, and hints of nutty cacao nibs. Oriented toward elegance rather than power
Palate
Aromatic citrus alongside wood spice, barbecue pork crackling. Berries and cocoa nibs with demerara-sugar dusted apples and olive-oil sponge cake. Bowl of mixed sultanas and raisins. Dark chocolate, dates, and prunes balanced against fresher apple and pear orchard fruit notes
Finish
Complex finish full of gingerbread, raisin and liquorice. Long and warming with leather and cedar persistence. The beast is refined but never tamed
