Taster

Nose: Promising, delicate orangey spiciness, fruity, toffeeish backdrop with subtle hints of madeira wine.

Palate: Full caramel and coffee textures emerge from initial floral and spicy, prickling characters. Lingering until the gentle sweetness yields to reveal more coffee, crème brûlée and soft peat.

Finish: Smooth, smoky and chocolatey. Very dry at the death.

Comment: For coffee, cigar and chocolate lovers.

Score: 8
