Nosing:
Strong malty with honey and caramel
Taste:
Complex and rounded with hints of vanilla
Finish:
Intensive and dry with a slight sharpness
Nosing:
Opening with flowery, grassy notes, with an underlying citrus burst of pink grapefruit.
Taste:
A creamy balance of sweet sherry nuttiness, orange and toffee, with smoky undertones. Wonderfully rounded, thick and velvety.
Finish:
A buttery smooth finish, with superb length and balance.
