Nose: Crackles of woody tannins lead among buttered toast and rich vanilla. Orchard fruits add depth in the backdrop.
Palate: The fruit develops to become ripe and juicy against big oak notes and prickles of nutmeg underneath. Butterscotch adds a complex sweetness throughout.
Finish: The oak spice tingles away in a composed, long finish.
Overall: A fabulously distilled and developed dram of real class.
