Tasting notes
Bottled straight from the barrel at a cask strength. Crafted in very limited quantities for discerning drinkers and connoisseurs. Aged for twelve years, then finished for two extra years in first-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry casks that have aged sherry for more than two decades, so the sweet, fortified wine penetrates deep into the oak giving a rich dark fruit complexity. Well balanced and complex profile that develops into a long, warm, and rolling finish. Bright, dark amber colour, with notes of port wine, cigar, dried fruits and chocolate, flavours of raisin, nutmeg, and toasted oak notes leading into a long pleasing aftertaste.
