Nose Rich, sweet old leathery oak, creamy notes of baked peach and vanilla, with shortbread, fudge, and biscuity malt alongside juicy apples and pears, custard, floral honey, and chocolate-coated cinder toffee.
Palate Sweet, soft stone fruits and fresh orchard fruits are soon joined by warming notes of cinnamon, before waves of vanilla cream and mellow oak arrive. There's some rich, red berry sweetness that develops beneath.
Finish Jammy berries, malt loaf, sultanas, and buttery toffee cushion balanced notes of pepper and drying oak, with lasting layers of floral tobacco, fruit salad, and vanilla.
