Nose is absolutely wonderful — rich chocolate and coffee right off the bat, almost like a hot chocolate with a splash of something stronger. Get a bit of sherry doing all the work in there, touches of toffee and walnuts too. Reminds me a bit of a Mars bar dipped in coffee. On the palate, it's creamy and earthy, with cured ham and pipe tobacco coming through. There's some ganache and lovely cocoa, maybe a hint of truffles. Quite Cognac-like at times, especially with that rancio note. Finish is long, with dark chocolate and coffeeish notes lingering, and just a bit of ethanol warmth. Doesn’t feel thin at all, though — more like a proper 26 yo Cambus with some STR influence. Something about it reminds me of a Mars bar, honestly. Mazeltov to whoever bottled this one. 🥃
