All of its natural colour has been drawn from the casks in which it has rested for almost three decades. Each bottle is individually numbered by hand as a reflection of its rarity.Tasting Notes
- Appearance : Ruby tinged walnut.

- Palate : Intense and full-bodied with dark fruit notes on a base of velvet and fine leather. A crescendo of black cherry and espresso adorns each mouthful.
- Conclusion : Richly rewarding, with a persistent chocolate, liquorice and walnut finish.
