The wood has a strong influence on this whisky, with firm tannins running through it. The nose is rich and deep, with dark fruit such as fig, plum and blackberry, old leather, intense sherry, and light touches of cinnamon and redcurrant jelly. On the palate there is blackberry, mulled wine and candied red fruit, with a syrupy texture. The finish is long, dry and tannic, with leather, bitter orange and blackberry.
