Nose: Apple candies, a touch of gooseberry, vanilla marshmallow, buttered brioche with a drizzle of honey. Mellow, creamy oak, yellow plums.
Palate: More green apple sweeties, a flash of fresh ginger, robust barley, and creamy key lime pie. Drying oak develops in time, bringing notes of stewed tea and pepper.
Finish: Spices build though the sweetness remains, with a superb tangle of dense toffee and fiery cracked peppercorns.
