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.
