Introduction

This Armorik limited edition is aged in bourbon for 9 years, then another 6 years sherry oloroso casks.

Nose – Rich and intense, the nose tends towards ripe exotic fruits (mango and passion). The maturity stands out with aromas of rancio and varnished wood. Sweet notes follow, with peach, honey, caramel and dried apricot. The whole ends on cumin and a fine touch of peat.

Palate – Sharp and sweet, the palate starts on fresh fruit (ripe pear, banana) and evolves towards a sweet touch of honeyed candy and exotic fruit. The fruitiness is enhanced by peppery and spicy notes of clove and cinnamon.

Finish – Long and warm, the finish swings between spicy and slightly smoky notes. It ends on a sweet note of peach jam.
