Nose Aromas of rosy apple hard boiled sweets and pear drops blend with roasting chestnuts and varnished oak. Notes of musty leather and a touch of warm gingerbread make for a refined nose. It’s well worth spending some time here.
Palate A sumptuous, elegant palate moves forward with soft, red apples and buttery Cherry Bakewell notes, and there’s a suggestion of pink grapefruit in the backdrop. It then becomes more complex, developing with vanilla, rye spices and toasted oak. Notes of melting brown sugar and warm flickers of cigar ash add genuine depth.
Finish Warm, incredibly smooth, and ever so slightly dry. The finish reflects the nose and palate, revealing the character of a beautifully delicate dram of incredible sophistication and poise.
Overall The maturity of this blend is astonishing; no flavours ever compete, dominate or distract. Everything works in sheer harmony.
