Tasting notes
Nose
Almond, hazelnut and cocoa lead before cooked banana and almost an note of mince pies emerge. Oaky cigar box and floral vanilla add beautiful depth.
Taste
A thick and heavy palate carries notes of sweet tobacco, rich molasses and a little smoke against a buttery biscuit base. Full bodied spice fizzes away underneath with a little pineapple juice.
Finish
The molasses continue to simmer away in this supple finish
