Tasting Notes
Nose: Stewed raisin aromas combine with orange peel and faint notes of beeswax polish. Baked spiced apples give way to vanilla pod and soft nutmeg.
Palate: Cinnamon spice flavours are followed by marmalade and toasted almonds. Roasted coffee beans comes to the fore, leading to Morello cheery and hazelnuts.
Finish: A long finish with sultanas and a sweet Sherry influence.
