Tasting notes:
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 glacee 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 liquorice. It’s more savoury than the nose suggests, focusing on fruit cake and bitter dark chocolate,
damp leaves and a hint of mint. Raisins and dates linger.
