Nose: The sherry influence is immediately on the nose, with notes of raisins, prunes mixed peel and fruit cake. There are notes of hard toffee and crème caramel, along with a spicy, wood element.

Palate: The palate introduces notes of Madeira cake, marzipan and gingerbread. There is a sweetness in notes of honey and syrup and the creamy caramel note from the nose persists.

Finish: A woody finish with notes of allspice and aniseed.
