Nose: Dried fruits, dark fruitiness and deep sweetness. Cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom provide plenty of spice. With time, earthy vanilla and chocolate add further richness.

Taste: Full bodied. Dates and raisins dominate, wrapped in a dark, heavy sweetness. Red berry jam adds a juicy richness, while the spices from the nose make a welcome return.

Finish: Medium long. Lovely sweetness, although quite heavy, with dried fruits, Christmas cake and toasted oak. Then comes the honey, lots of honey! The spices remain throughout.

Comment: A true sherry bomb.
