Nose: A gentle start with fruit-studded muffins and buttery oak before things open up with sherried sultanas, prunes, drizzles of runny toffee, and toasted nuts.
Palate: Big waves of rich, sherried oak bring notes of caramelised biscuits and maple syrup. Toffee ripple ice cream, wafers, and popcorn join toasted almonds and cooked peach, while a crackle of pepper nestles in the depths.
Finish: A superbly sweet finish with some hearty baking spice and a hint of ginger at the core. Rich layers of vanilla, caramel, and butter biscuits linger, with burnt brown sugar, butterscotch Angel Delight, and chewy fudge.
