With the smoothness of the 10 year-old allied to extra complexity from more ageing, this is a winner.
Rich & full-bodied with hints of citrus fruit and toffee
This is one patient customer - biding its time for 14 years in American white oak before spending a final two years in ex-Amoroso Oloroso sherry casks for an unbelievably full-bodied finish. Christmas seems to come early with all sorts of treats - dark chocolate, orange and honey. Its 16-year odyssey has provided countless flavours for you to explore.

Nose: Fragrant, slightly floral cereal, some minerality at first, becoming increasingly creamy with a hint of orange. Mixed nuts, redcurrant, green apple and finally dark chocolate and spice.
Palate: Oily and resinous with sweet tobacco, mixed nuts, clove, milk chocolate and violet. Rich and round.
Finish: Drying, fragrant oak. After a few sips some chocolate lingers too.
