Utter silence, you could hear a pin drop at the first nosing and it took some time for us to come out of our trance before some aroma descriptors were muttered; rum soaked raisins, dates, figs, sultanas, walnuts, cinnamon, baked apples and ripe cherries. The taste neat was rich, sweet and smooth with exotic spices, charred oak and dark chocolate. Even more elegant with the slightest drop of water like vintage leather seats in an E-Type Jaguar with handmade Oriental rug car mats and unlit cigars lying on top of the wooden dashboard. Whoever said “to travel is better than to arrive” was wrong!
