Layers of sun‑dried apricot, golden raisin and candied orange peel unfold first, soon joined by deeper tones of fig, date and toasted walnut. Polished oak weaves in warm chocolate, vanilla bean and a wisp of smoky anise, while clove and forest‑floor spice add an elegant, autumnal lift.

Opulently silky yet vibrant, the brandy opens with honeyed stone‑fruit and sultana sweetness before moving into rich waves of dark toffee, cocoa and roasted coffee bean. Mid‑palate, the 40 % alc warmth is tempered by supple texture and accents of sweet vanilla, cigar‑box cedar and gentle baking spice. The finish is extraordinarily long, echoing dried fruit, oak‑spice and a final, satisfying hint of smoked anise.
