Tasting Notes
High-flying esters created a cloud of ripe banana and pear aromas that combined with spiced apple chutney and honey-roasted cashews. The palate, however, was rich and sticky. Peat and oloroso sherry intertwined around complex cocktails of minty mojitos and super cuba libres with an enthusiastic serving of rum. Water accentuated the rum components, but now with polished leather, hickory smoke and charred pine trees. The flavours had taken a tropical turn, welcoming an influx of soft nectarine, mango and toasted pineapple. Sherry notes cut through the fruit before upfront peat and smoke cascaded on to mulled cherry liqueur with a garnish of mint.
