Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Rich golden amber; deeper than Double Cask 12, with warm honeyed tones
Nose
Richer and more developed than DC 12 — dried fruit (raisin, date), honey, vanilla, butterscotch, and warm oak. Hints of chocolate, orange peel, and baking spice. Balanced sweet-to-dry ratio
Palate
Medium-full body. Rich honey, dried fruit, and chocolate. Butterscotch, vanilla, and orange peel with warming oak spice. More sherry influence than DC 12 — richer, more complex, with emerging leather and nutmeg notes. Silky texture
Finish
Medium-long finish. Dried fruit and chocolate linger with warm oak spice, honey, and a touch of leather. More substance than DC 12 with satisfying warmth
