Nose | Very aromatic, with heady notes of tropical fruit bursting out of the glass. Plenty of juicy candied fruit, mango and coconut. |
Palate | The rich tropical fruit continues on to the palate, along with caramel, toffee and vanilla from the cask. Very fruity and accessible. |
Finish | The fruitiness combines beautifully with the toasty oak notes. |
