Nose: Sultanas and raisins and a hint of marzipan. Christmas Pudding with sweet malt.

Palate: Salted meats, espresso, dry roasted nuts, and winter spices like nutmeg and clove.

Finish: An oily finish with earthy spices and dark chocolate.

Ed's review

Colour: Natural colour, dark amber, oily in the glass.

Nose: Full of rich, dark fruit. Berries, stewed plums, sticky ripe figs. Muscovado sugar and cinnamon.

Palate: Full mouthfeel. Super rich and fruity. A savoury note, which nicely balances the fruit. Chocolate-covered coffee beans and nuts. Alcohol is well integrated, adding body without any burn.

Finish: Medium to long finish. Mocha coffee and fine tobacco. A little warming wood spice.

Overall: Absolutely delicious, an easy 'recommend'.
