Review and Tasting
Sampled on 24/11/2023
Appearance:
Deep golden amber. (Natural colour - no caramel added.)
Aroma:
Vibrant and generous. Honey, vanilla fudge, leather, tobacco and cherry with cinnamon, clove and nutmeg spiced oak and sandalwood. Faint balsamic.
Taste:
Chewy oak and assertive cinnamon, clove and nutmeg spice are mellowed by an oily mouthfeel and fruity sweetness with caramelised apple, figs, sultanas and prunes. Subtle dark chocolate.
Aftertaste:
Dry, spicy oak with vanilla fudge, lingering oak resins and dark chocolate (chocolate particularly noticeable with water).
Overall:
Full-bodied, robust and fruity. Youthful but with a monster personality. One to enjoy by the fireside. Takes a splash of water well with vanilla fudge and dark chocolate notes amplified.
