Nose:
Peppery, heavy and oily,
with scents of chewy Highland Toffee. Some dried fruits; rum and raisin ice
cream, old Spanish brandy. With water, the oiliness grows whilst the
fruitiness becomes a heavy perfume, like that of lilies at night. Further
development brings nougat and warm creamy milk, with nuts.
Body:
Oily. Smooth.
Palate:
Delicious at natural
strength, even better with a little water. A big, thick mouthfeel - sweet
then drying elegantly; sweet peppers followed by a hint of matchbox striker.
Traces of clove and herbal notes too, of parsley and sorrel. Slightly
mouth-cooling.
Finish:
Dry. Cooling. Herbal.
