Description

Nose : Full bodied with aromas of seasoned oak, baked red apples and fruitcake, followed by warming vanilla and ripe tropical stone fruits.

Palate : Slightly oily in texture. Ground spices and old hardwood strike first, building up to brighter flavours of tinned pineapples, bitter orange peel and honey.

Overall : Long and rich, leading towards a soft, rounded finish.
