Their fourth annual release has a beautifully fruity nose, bursting with red currant, plump raisin, orange peel, pomegranate, malt, rich caramel, and black currant cassis. The combination of port and madeira casks makes this a delicious and indulgent drop. It pairs admirably with hard cheeses, and showcases flavors of spicy stewed fruits, creamy toffee, malt, peppercorn, black cherry, licorice, chocolate, and charred oak. Just add a roaring fire and good company.
