Notes from the maker:
Full-bodied indulgence with a charming, long finish.

Tasting Notes:
Color: Dark golden.
Nose: Brimming with notes of sweet toffee, sugared almonds and chunky tropical fruit. Hints of caramelized sugar and candied apples give way to a very slight honeyed smokiness.
Taste: Creamy dark chocolate, toffee, a gently oak spiciness and a touch of citrus give way to a long, slightly smoky finish with an enticing bittersweet edge.

“Baked apples and apricots with rich dried fruits, dark sugar and a heady blend of sweet and savoury notes. Hints of smoky deli counter with cinder toffee, cinnamon and spice on the tempestuous, toffee-rich finish. Boom!”

“Aged in American and Spanish oak. Figs, cinnamon, and pineapple up front on the nose; in time, smoky fudge. The palate is rich and creamy, with more fudge, honey, and tangerines. The orange note becomes more bitter, accompanied by lively spices and subtle woodsmoke. Long in the finish, with peppery oak.” – Whisky Advocate
