Awards
Nose
The nose opens with opulent notes of dried fruits and sherry-soaked raisins, underscored by hints of brine, seaweed and iodine.
Palate
These aromas meld into a rich wave of dark chocolate and dried figs, leading to a crescendo of peat smoke - robust and medicinal, yet gracefully mellowed by the Oloroso cask's touch. This introduces sumptuous undertones of black cherries, leather and a whisper of treacle.
Finish
The finish resonates with lingering echoes of smoky embers, rounded off by a delicate whisper of salted caramel.
