Tasting Note by Master of Malt
Nose Jammy stewed blackcurrants, freeze-dried raspberries, a hint of cigar box, and leather furniture, with a delicate dusting of baking spice.
Palate Robust notes of stewed red fruit, berry compote, dark cherry chocolate, and burnt sugar. Dried goji berries and a hint of woody rosemary, tannic oak spice, pepper, and old oak.
Finish Red fruits and drying oak linger in an almost Port-like fashion, joined by woody notes of clove and tobacco, berry shrub, cracked black pepper, and a touch of balsamic.
