8.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 8.5 Texture 9 Overall 8
Bottle thanks to Stuu666.
Appearance - deep brown but translucent.
Nose - dried fruit, maybe raisins or sultanas, then dried orange peel. Some cherry.
Taste - toffee, cherry and figs. Some desiccated coconut from the barrel at the very back end.
Palate - medium bodied, great acidity from the cherries, lightly boozy and persistent finish.
