A warming dram with initial sweetness that gives way to a suprisingly dry finish. Vanilla, toffee and soft brown sugar on the nose. Toffee apple and icing sugar on the palate, with vanilla throughout.

Plenty of ripe pears, nectarines and peaches alongside a fair whack of cinnamon and nutmeg. The palate is all crystalised fruits – ginger, orange peel and cherry, with the odd one perhaps dipped in chocolate.
