On the palate, the rich and silky attack highlights notes of dark chocolate, candied fig, raisin, blood orange, married with spicy touches, roasted coffee, toasted hazelnut and a subtle hint of tobacco. The finish, endless and warm, evolves on toasted oak, muscovado sugar and a refined rancio typical of the finest malts aged in sherry.
