Review and Tasting

Sampled on 19/11/2011

Appearance

Clear, pale golden.

Aroma

Vanilla rich, stewed/dried fruit, salty nose with faint rum & raison ice-cream, fresh dill and cigar tobacco.

Taste

Wonderfully complex with aged rum notes masking some of the agave character and a subtle dry oaky topping.

Aftertaste

Long, majestic finish with lingering agave and spicy oak.

Closure: Natural cork stopper
