SPIRIT NOTES
The nose, bold as a ballsy brigadier, had sherry, toasted oak and cinnamon; Christmas cake, molasses, dates and cherries in syrup. The palate tingled with chilli, ginger, clove rock, charred oak and leather – while its brown sugar, syrup and dried fruits kept us smiling. The reduced nose ranged from honey and stewed fruit to black bun and dark chocolate, through to polished wood and over-done bread from a wood-fired oven. The palate now – singed orange peel, liquorice root and treacle – dark, sweet, frisky, feisty and full of pep. After 7 years in ex-bourbon wood, we transferred this into heavily charred new oak.
