The nose reveals rich fruit aromas of dark cherries, Medjool dates, and raisins, layered with warming cinnamon, sticky toffee pudding, and aged oak. On the palate, an initial sweetness introduces vanilla, apple, and nutmeg before developing into intense, rich oak with deeper spice notes of warming aniseed and clove. The finish is long and luxurious, leaving a gentle impression of spice, sweetness, and antique oak.
