Tasting Notes

This opened like a fruit jelly nebula swirling at the event horizon of cherry chocolate liqueurs, marzipan and cocoa powder. A meteor trail of unroasted peanuts and tiramisu led us to a tannic time-warp palate, resplendent with dark fruits and stewed plums stretching across a galaxy of cinnamon and ginger solar flares. With water, the universe sweetened to ginger cake batter, walnut and raisin brioche, and plum jam spiralling through a sherry-rich singularity. The finish, however, imploded into a dense black hole of ginger tea, black cherries and lemon marmalade, with the darkest chocolate gâteau echoing within a cinnamon supernova. After spending 13 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead, this was transferred to a first fill Spanish oak oloroso hogshead for the remainder of its maturation.
