Nose: Stroopwaffles, roasty mocha, and those wafer cigars filled with praline. Warm leather, feisty oak char, roasted macadamia nuts, plus a touch of underripe pineapple and buttered corn.
Palate: That buttery toffee comes into its element on the palate, bolstered by rich, tannic oak, fragrant, herbal tobacco, and caramelised exotic fruits. Drying leather carries through too, balanced by silky vanilla creme brulee.
Finish: A gloriously sweet array of poached plum and charred pineapple, countered by drying, woody spice, resinous oak, and hints of warming hickory. The balance of sweetness and spice here is really exceptional.
