SMWS 78.64 Mesmerising allure

The nose promised rum and raisin ice cream, salted caramel, chocolate halva, syrup-drenched torrijas and cherry pipe tobacco – mesmerising and alluring. Intense dark sweetness flooded our mouths with custard tarts, dark chilli chocolate, orange marmalade, syrup of figs, dried dates and pomegranate molasses; the finish found charred oak, cardamom and cumin.
