Colour - Ruby Amber. Nose - Full bodied and waxy. Old school Pure Pot Still oils and spices interlaced with stewed damsons, dried raisins, pine cones, and a rich date and ginger cake laced with vanilla and marzipan icing. Palate - An air of late summer fresh cut hay, crisp red apples and boiled sweet butter candies gives way to freshly roasted coffee beans and Jamaican molasses and ginger cake, before those dominant old Oloroso Sherry casks show their influence with rich notes of toasted walnuts, mocha, dark chocolate, liquorice and layers of dried stone fruits, cinnamon and clove. Finish - Complex, long and lingering. Fresh red berry compote, salted caramel, vanilla cream and almond biscotti fade as the weight of the double distilled pot still shine through for a glorious encore of fragrant green tea, fresh ginger syrup and that signature warming white pepper spice.
