Nose Old, leather-bound books, hearty aged oak, and sticky honeyed dates open the way before a lift of orange peel and sultana arrive. Baked apple and dustings of cocoa arrive later, with freshly baked biscuits, and a hint of minerality.
Palate An abundance of dark forest fruits and berry jelly kick things off, while creamy stone fruit and dried orange wheels nestle in the background. Beneath, chocolate walnuts bring a bittersweet, earthy layer with hints of anise and herbal barley.
Finish Drying oak lingers with hints of vegetal spice and a whisper of smoke, while more dried berries and stone fruits keep things sweet.
