Flavour & character

Aroma A rich and warming bouquet in which the aroma of dried southern fruits melts together with the mild, spicy notes of brandy. You recognise subtle hints of cinnamon, sugar syrup and a light woody touch that stimulates the nose in a nostalgic way.

Taste The opening is soft and full-bodied. The raisins are juicy and burst with flavour at every bite, while the brandy provides pleasant layering. The tasting experience is harmonious: the natural sugars of the raisin are beautifully balanced by the subtle strength of the 12% alcohol.

Finish A long, sweet finish that slowly fades. The flavour of raisins and mild brandy lingers pleasantly on the palate, providing a warm and satisfying finish.
