The nose presents rich 'tawny' port characteristics with ample fruit and spice. It's slightly sharp on the initial taste due to the 48% ABV, but it has an excellent coating and mouthfeel.

A delightful touch of cinnamon complements this light-bodied drink. Excellent for an old fashioned or mixed with citrus.
Nose: Barrel aroma with a touch of salinity. Palate: A slight initial spiciness is enveloped by sweetness. Sweetness has multiple layers.
