Nose: Robust notes of roasted malt lead, with poached pear and burnt sugar, while wafts of leathery oak and peppery spice linger in the distance.
Palate: Sweet, sherried fruits and Madeira cake with dried apricot and sultanas. Crystalised ginger brings warmth alongside bold oak char and meaty, spicy malt.
Finish: A brilliant balance of sweetness and spice, with rich fruit cake, peppery barley, and delicate oak.
