Nose

Weighty with almost carbonised notes (roasted nut/burnt almond), cooking chocolate, leather, fruit cake, spice and some smoke (turf/moss).

Palate

Soft, ripe and fruity with that burnt edge. Malaga. Soft, rounded and slightly dry. Good balance.

Finish

Dry with a nodule of sweetness. Good length and power.

Comment

Well-made and best neat, when that rich spirit comes through.
