Tasting Notes
"Full-bodied with fruits rising off the spirit, the brandy wastes no time in calming the nerves. Thick and somewhat sweetly wooded, the wood becomes roasted and turns dark. Fruit and Christmas cakes fill the nose, with nuts and fruits softly wafting by. The palate reveals the brandy to be less thick than expected, still heavy, but not cloying. Sweet sugar boxes, stone fruits and oranges rise with as the roasted wood turns to reveal treacle and warm nuts, raisin toast with a light spiced honey spread. The finish is long, sweet and tarting, spices and vanilla tingling the back end. "
