Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Decadent aromas of baked apples, sticky toffee pudding and honey drizzled blackberries. Additional notes of citrus oil and dried fruits work in tandem with the pot still spices, sweet vanilla and the mild nutty undertones imparted from the wine seasoned oak.
Taste: Initial burst of rich and sweet notes ranging from sugar glazed cherries and fig to maple syrup and coffee cake. Hints of almond and walnut are wonderfully balanced by the pot still spices and woodland notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, while delicate citrus tones slowly build over time.
Finish: Lasting finish in which the pot still spices are the first to fade, leaving the wine seasoned oak to linger.
