Nose

Rich but still bright with notes of fresh orange, dried cherries, a bit of floor polish, and then some fresh plums.

Palate

More drying on the palate with lots of the citrusy character rolling around the sides of the tongue: clementine and grapefruit pith. Then cranberries, Madagascan cacao, and a touch of liquorice.

Finish

Lots of dried baking spice — cinnamon and nutmeg — alongside some oak tannin.

Comment

A balanced dram that, while rich, has some lovely brighter notes.
