‘Strawberry Fields’
NOSE: Pronounced fruity aromas are immediately detectable, followed by oak, strawberry jam, a touch of chocolate and warmth of spice.
PALATE: A quick strike of cracked black pepper fills the mouth and dissipates. A softer red fruit and sweetness ooze onto the palate. Unctuous and rich jam, chocolate and dried fruits follow close behind. A touch of leather, oak and a hint of vanilla meander through.
FINISH: The warmth remains long in the mouth, accompanied by the more mature chocolate and leathery tones. A drying spice lingers on.

‘Tapestry’
NOSE: A bright fruit-driven nose of apricots, stewed apples, brown sugar and a touch of sticky toffee.
PALATE: A complicated dram indeed. Layers of delicate stone fruit, tinned fruit syrup and icing sugar weave in and out of richer classic sherry influences of sticky toffee pudding, dates and chocolate.
FINISH: Bright sugars and fruity syrup mellow first, leaving the headier notes to share centre stage with cinnamon spices and black pepper. Long warmth mellows in the mouth over the next few minutes.

‘Let’s Stay Together’
NOSE: Bold sherry initially cloaks the intricacies, but time and a touch of water reveal more delicate cooked fruits, cinnamon and cloves. A touch of milk chocolate skulks around the back.
PALATE: Rich sweetness washes over the palate with bright sparks of pepper from the alcohol. As the dram mellows, deeper stewed fruits and milk chocolate give way to lighter stone fruits and layers of spice.
FINISH: Milk chocolate and fruit fade first, revealing Christmas cake and a touch of nuttiness. Bags of spices loiter for a lengthy, balanced finish.
