Tasting Notes
"Rich on the nose with an initial hint of dark plums and cherries, it quickly turns to sweeter, richer things: fruity chocolate, orange-soaked crème brûlée, and sultanas soaked in rum pushing through at the end. The taste is sweet and delicately spiced with a creamy texture. The soft fruits come through again, joined by Christmas cake and pear-drops, and the malt characters sweeten towards the end. The finish is long and viciously warm with subtle vanilla-malts and wonderful fruit tones rising through the mouth. "
