🎨 Flavor Profile
📝 Tasting Notes
Rich waves of dark chocolate and raisins emerge from the glass, intertwined with polished oak and subtle baking spices. Hints of orange zest and butterscotch add complexity to this deeply sherried expression.
Luxuriously oily mouthfeel delivers concentrated flavors of fig, date, and candied ginger, layered with dark toffee and espresso. The sherry influence is profound yet balanced, with sweet vanilla oak providing structure beneath the fruit-forward core.
Long and warming with persistent notes of dark chocolate, dried cherries, and a gentle oakiness that lingers gracefully.
🥃 How to Enjoy
Pour at room temp in a Glencairn. Let it breathe 2–3 minutes before nosing — this unlocks the full aromatic profile.
A few drops cut through cask-strength alcohol and release esters. Start with one drop and taste as you go.
Fine for lighter, fruitier expressions. Cold can mute the complexity in heavily peated or well-aged malts.
