The amber hue and toffee scent let you know this will be a rich sipper. The palate delivers on that promise, layering toffee with leather and nuanced cocoa and dried cherry.

A masterpiece of rich and buttery flavours with a caramel toffee mouthfeel and a hint of spiced peaches. Beautifully balanced, light and fresh, this is a true burst of pleasure.
Full on the nose with plum, peanut cream and cassis leaves. Very dense on the palate with hints of vanilla pudding and nutty notes. Spicy and roasted on the finish. Beautiful length.

Complex on the nose with hints of broiche, marzipan, light milk cream and sweet cocoa. Rather slender on the palate, after initial sweetness, subtle tart notes take over in the middle section.
Complex on the nose with hints of brioche, marzipan, light milk cream and sweet cocoa. Relatively lean on the palate; after initial sweetness, subtle tart notes take over in the middle. Decent finish with a malt-coffee aftertaste.
On the nose, buttery sherry notes and floral nuances are clearly recognizable. Relatively bitter on the palate with bay leaf, followed by orange marzipan and a hint of coffee. Pleasant finish with good length.
The nose is rich, with new leather, sultanas, dates, furniture polish, ginger, Jaffa oranges, and cloves. Silky on the palate, mandarin oranges with cream, developing toffee, milky coffee, and milk chocolate.
Hints of fudge and toffee accompanied by orange zest and rum raisins. … The mouthfeel is a bit thin, but flavorwise we're in good territory. Think chocolate truffles and a warming spiciness with cinnamon and cloves.
