NOSE
Fruit cake for grown-ups: not too sweet, thanks to softly singed raisins, and solidly soaked in bittersweet dark rum. Baked apples with plump raisins, brown sugar, and cinnamon sit to the side, studded with glacée cherries and juicy sultanas.
-
PALATE
Rich, thick, and packed with juicy-but-dried fruit – rum-soaked raisins, prunes, and a touch of chopped date. Nutmeg and cinnamon sit underneath along with sticks of black licorice. It’s more savory than the nose suggests, focusing on fruit cake and bitter dark chocolate.

FINISH
Damp leaves and a hint of mint. Raisins and dates linger.
