Colour Deep, rich, Chestnut mahogany, crystal clear. Aroma A burst of classic Demerera greets the nose with a mix of brown sugar and molasses followed by dried fruits such as sultanas, prunes and exotic tropical fruits. Everything is sprinkled with a blend of island spices such as nutmeg, clove and cassia. The aroma finished beautifully with soft oak, caramel, and rich English toffee. Body Full, round and extremely smooth. Taste Very sweet on the tongue initially followed by a wonderful blend of sweet and bitter complexity. The taste delivers what the aroma promises which is classic Demerera brown sugar and a cornucopia of dried mixed fruits such as sultanas, prunes, and dried tropical fruits. Island spices coat everything in a subtle way. The finish is warm, and firm with gentle oak, caramel, and English toffee. Hints of sherry, leather and steeped tea add to the magic of this blend. Finish Warm, firm, pleasantly long, and memorable. There is absolutely no burn on the finish, and its strengths are its smoothness, which is surprising given that it is only aged for 3 years.
