Tasting Notes

Aroma: Generous aromas of ripe figs, sweet dried fruit and delicate jammy notes, with a soft, inviting richness.

Serving Suggestions

Beautiful enjoyed neat or over ice as an after dinner treat. For something a little different, add a splash to a glass of sparkling wine or Champagne for a wonderfully fruity twist.

It also works beautifully in cocktails with gin, vodka or bourbon, adding a rich fig sweetness that complements citrus and herbal flavours.

And don't overlook it in the kitchen. Try a drizzle over vanilla ice cream, panna cotta, poached pears or a rich chocolate dessert. It's also a lovely accompaniment to a cheese platter, particularly with blue cheese or creamy brie.
