Tasting Notes
"A sweet nose of honey, sherry and chocolate, with fainter floral notes, invites you into this decadent dram. Find rich and full flavors with a silky smooth mouthfeel and profile, with the palate offering more sherry and honey. Then things really kick off as it opens up for a big finish, with baking spices and cloves giving way to chocolate cherries, sherry, and dried fruits. Add a few drops of water for a drier and spicier expression. "
