Tasting Notes

Grape must and crushed bergamot were subsumed by hessian sacks and deposited in a vintage car showroom – a fitting fragrance for the location. The cask pedigree was made immediately clear on the palate; full of oak tannins, dried figs, strawberry jam and a touch of eucalyptus. Water offered to sweeten the nose and emphasise bergamot, while the palate became especially elegant, with very gentle leather, honey and almond notes. After 10 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, we transferred this to a second fill oloroso hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.
