Dates, hint of figs. Almonds and cherries. Sweet and smooth, but st the same time harsh and boozy.

Rob B. remember picking these up? VIP treats! Not the richest quad, but I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. Dry and dangerously sippable.

It has caramel, dried fruit, brown sugar, perfumy aromas with hints of spicy and alcohol.

Initial nose is banana and lots of it. First taste is smooth, sweet, heavy and boozy. Seems to be a bit thin in the mid-taste; initial flavours still dominate. The end and aftertaste are warming and richly boozy.
