Clean, a very oily yet slightly youthful nose of linseed oil along with menthol, earth and herbal notes. Dry on the palate with a good depth of linseed oil soaked fruit, which given time becomes quite tropical in character. Lovely length with dried banana notes in the finish. Loads of character.

Mature, pungent aromas of soft demarara sugar coated fruit and vanilla oils. Off-dry and full bodied. A lovely intensity of softly spiced, oily mature fruit and oak. Exceptionally long and creamy with the wood spice notes lingering.

A warm and inviting bouquet, full of clove, spice and herbal aromas. The port finish adds a rich fruit cake feel. The palate is soft and herbal with a very intense peppery/ spice middle and a long finish. Very classy with a pleasant balancing sweetness.
