Dark amber appearance. Inviting bouquet of rolled cigar, fig preserves, dates, molasses, caramel, and candied orange zest. Thick, unctuous, and syrupy, this is long, pure, and velvety smooth. The burnt sugar edge and raisined concentration are sweet but not cloying. Orange pith lingers on the finish. Dessert in a bottle.

color: dark amber, gold gllitters Nose: mainly on the typical raisins and plums, but this one is particularly fragrant as well. Lovely orange peel (going on marmelade) and a touch of apple blossom. Some candied tangerine & fresh grapes. Mouth: sticky sweet, full of caramel and brown sugar flavours. Toffee & chestnut honey. Also notes of membrillo slightly spicy towards the end. Long, sweet finish.

Pure fig syrup. This would go great with blue cheese. Thick and unctuous.

Tons of caramel and nuts on this. Finish was a little hot.

Hinted at being corked, but still backing that burnt sugar.
