Nose: Sweet notes of dried fruits and citrus, with maybe a whiff of cherries and almonds, bringing to mind rich Maraschino liqueurs. Herbal mint and a hint of cracked black pepper from the oak give balance.
Palate: Oodles of Sherried spices and golden syrup. A hint of light, floral honey, strong coffee and plump raisins.
Finish: Orange blossom and Christmas spice on the finish.
