Tasting Notes
"Nose starts surprisingly with honeysuckle, before moving to candied fruits, citrus zest, and dark brown sugar. The mouthfeel is syrupy, with bitter dark chocolate, red fruits and berries, nuttiness, molasses, and maple syrup drenched brioche. The cask strength shows with heat on a supremely lengthy but resoundingly smooth finish, with hints of leather and shoe polish mingling with oak, nuts, candied orange peel, and citrus oils. Add water, and more rich chocolate and sweetness emerges, followed by touches of raspberry and spice. "
