Nose: Lots of hot tarmac intertwined with juicy fig- gentle notes of cherry stones- smoke-y- peat- black tea- walnuts- and bitter chocolate.
Palate: A viscous caramel sweet rush onto the palate. Dates and dried pineapple chunks- and hints of tamarind vie with the ever-present heavy Rum.
Finish: Warming. Chewed oak-y pencil lead and gentle raisins.
