Nose: Fragrant citrus notes of mandarins and Clementine's, rounded off with the dessert qualities brought by the Pedro Ximinez casks.

Palate: Sticky date traits, partnered together with a liberal helping of star anise and liquorice. A dryish finish develops derived from flavours of roasted cocoa nibs and toasted oak.
