Tasting Notes
"A power chord of sherry and nutty Christmas cake aggressively hits the nose. In the mouth, the tartness of orange peel weaves with raisins, dark fruit, vanilla, bready malts, and sherry notes. The finish is long with nutty Christmas cake returning with a pleasant bitterness that wraps everything up into a tight package with a bow on it."
