Tasting Notes:

Nose
The nose begins with the decadence of rich dark chocolate and treacle toffee, reminiscent of indulgent sweetness. A backdrop of heavily polished antique furniture sets the scene for a sophisticated experience. Candied ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and the richness of vanilla pods add layers of complexity to the aromatic profile.

Palate
The palate is robust, featuring strong notes of leather and sandalwood that evoke images of well-aged furniture. Hints of pineapple and red apples provide a fruity interlude, while drizzled runny honey adds a touch of sweetness. As the taste journey evolves, additional notes of ginger surface, complemented by the subtle warmth of sweetened coffee at the end.

Finish
The finish is long and semi-sweet, leaving lovely hints of strawberry in its wake. Oak spices and the enduring presence of vanilla contribute to the final act, creating a flavorful and lingering conclusion to the tasting experience.
