Review and Tasting

Sampled on 25/11/2014

Appearance

Clear, dark coppery amber with burnished copper highlights.

Aroma

Pungent molasses, treacle, toffee, honey and vanilla with oak, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.

Taste

Full-bodied, and despite its strength with a mellow medley of flavours: molasses, treacle, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, toffee and espresso. Alcohol peppery spice and oak balances slight sweetness and adds structure.

Aftertaste

Long finish with burnt caramel, spice, cold tea and prunes.
