Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
Nose Sophisticated bouquet, Hint of wood that blends with exotic spice and layers of Butterscotch and passion fruit, reminding candies. Crystallized fruit cake with a touch of nutmeg.
Palate Creamy, harmonious palate and good unctuosity. Lush and mouth filling with more than enough acidity for balance.

Awards and/or Press Quotes
Jancis Robinson "Smells of Turkish coffee, leather, proper Oxford marmalade. Huge concentration. Tastes judderingly dry. Toasty, dark, double-bass ribbons of flavour underpinning brighter notes of lemon curd and candied citrus peel. Hot cross buns and stollen spiciness, melted butter and sandalwood, smoky passion fruit and piercing, piercing freshness on the finish."
