Oosh! Stick your nose in that glass! There’s no denying the cask influence with lots of sherry, oak and plenty of spirit. Look beyond that, though, to notes of honey, baked apple and nutty toffee. Pepper and spice on the palate is balanced by a welcome creaminess and a long finish.

The rich candied fruit, vanilla and cereal of Panettone, made into a rich bread and butter pudding with a scrape of orange marmalade. Joined by a dollop of cream on the palate, with nutmeg spice coming through on the finish.

Syruppy pears poached in armagnac, a touch of liquorice, lovely cinnamon spice. On the palate honey, orange oil, a gentle warmth in the finish. Generous honey and fruit remain in the mouth long after this dram has been sipped…
