Tasting notes:
Deep amber colour with hints of orange and mahogany, indicating its age. Its nose features dried fruits with a raisin-like sweetness, nut notes, caramel, toffee, and brown sugar from extended oak aging. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with sweet flavours of caramelized sugar, molasses, and dark chocolate. It has complex layers of dried fruits, spice notes, earthy undertones, and well-integrated acidity. The finish is lingering with a warm, comforting aftertaste.

Serving & Food Pairing
