Rich butter icing, plump raisins, candied ginger & freshly varnished oak lead the way. Thick caramel sauce & crunchy toffee are sprinkled with spice: cinnamon & nutmeg. Baked apples & pears sit behind, drizzled with vanilla sauce & dusted with Chinese Five Spice. Thick, sweet & spicy, with the caramel sauce from the nose stirred through with freshly crushed black pepper, hot cinnamon & sticky vanilla pods. The pepper & toffee continue as the fruit from the nose builds along with touches of mint, tarragon & spicy grain. The virgin oak finish has layered spice & vanilla on top of the fruity Box spirit. The spiciness from the wood & the herbal notes look towards a US-style rye whiskey, but with malty complexity.
