Tasting Notes

Nose: A sophisticated and inviting bouquet opens with rich notes of aged oak and caramelized sugar, reminiscent of crème brûlée. Underlying cedar and leather mingle with dried dark fruits – fig and raisin – and a subtle hint of baking spice, particularly nutmeg and a whisper of anise. A faint touch of floral sweetness, perhaps violet, emerges after a moment.

Palate: The palate delivers a luxurious, full-bodied experience. Initial waves of warm toffee and dark chocolate give way to a concentrated burst of sweet, dried cherry and blackcurrant. The 14 years in wood are evident through a pronounced yet elegant oak spice, balanced by vanilla bean and a touch of roasted almond. The high proof is well-integrated, providing a delightful warmth without harshness, allowing secondary notes of tobacco leaf and a hint of mint to subtly surface.

Finish: A long and evolving finish. Sweet oak tannins linger, accompanied by notes of espresso and a satisfying warmth that radiates from the chest. The fruit character persists, transforming into a dark fruit compote, while a delicate spice – cinnamon and a touch of white pepper – provides a graceful, satisfying conclusion. The mouthfeel remains velvety and luxurious well after the last sip.
