Nose
Praline pecans, red apple skin, dried mango and Battenberg cake. Peering through is charred bark and some maple syrup.
Palate
Beautifully rich tones with soft leather, marzipan, salted caramel and cherry liquorice. Dashes of apricot jam, white pepper and cider vinegar crisps on the tip of the tongue.
Finish
Warm with a refreshing tingle and charred oak creating a chalky texture.
Comment
A jaw clencher cask strength that keeps its body and weight with the addition of water.
