Nose: A sherry explosion with winter fruits, spicy gingerbread and a hint of peat.
Palate: A winter warmer. dark orange chocolate, Christmas cake and brandy snaps. Honey and spices develop over time.
Finish: The finish is long and smooth. Espresso coffee, liquorice, marzipan and sherry conclude the tickling of the taste buds.
