Food Pairing: Rich venison stew, roasted duck breast with fruit reduction, aged Gouda or Manchego cheese, dark chocolate tarts, or sticky toffee pudding.

Tasting Notes : Deep mahogany amber in appearance with a full-bodied, rich, and velvety mouthfeel.

Nose : Brazil nut combines with Seville orange, subtle lavender, raisin, baked apple, and a hint of aniseed.

Palate : Sweet raspberry liquorice leads to prunes, ashy undertones, treacle toffee, ginger spice, and charred oak.

Finish : Full, long, and spicy with lasting citrus notes.

Serve : Serve neat at room temperature in a Glencairn or tulip-shaped tasting glass, or add a few drops of water to open up its rich cask-strength aromas.
