Nose Thick, dark and sweet. The nose is filled with treacle toffee, coffee grounds and bramble berries. Rich and meaty notes develop, with honey-glazed smoked game meat and walnut oil. Antique oak and a little leather are present underneath.
Palate Flamed citrus, dark chocolate and plenty of sticky dried fruit initially, with peanut brittle, damp wood and flickers of oak spice coming to the fore with time.
Finish Marmalade on thick slices of brown bread.
Overall A knockout dram. Lots of delicious flavours are muddled together beautifully here.
