Tasting Notes


Nose : Initial nose spicy, notes of wood varnish and coffee. It is followed by tobacco, cedar and incense. The sherry is subtle but always present.

Palate : Dark chocolate, coffee beans along with varnish and tobacco and some mint. With a few drops of water it evolves into something almost dessert like cinnamon, cloves, dried orange zest and a whole lot of kumquats!

Finish : Extremely long lasting with notes of mints, dark chocolate and coffee lingering on.
