Nose: Vibrant barley and zingy candied pineapple lead the way, with prickles of anise and clove kept in check by waves of creamy vanilla and softly toasted oak.
Palate: Robust oak and peppery malt are accompanied by waves of crème caramel. Juicy peach, dried tropical fruits, and honeyed prunes follow, with chewy toffees and a touch of ginger cake.
Finish: A brilliant balance of sweetness and spice, with syrup-soaked stone fruits, toasted marzipan, and hearty oaken spice.
