Nose: Oaken vanilla and cracked peppercorns open the way, before layers of caramel, and smoky tea creep in.
Palate: Honeyed prunes and sultanas follow more warming oaken spice, with creamy grain, and biscuity malt shining through.
Finish: Fruited flapjack, warming cinnamon and pepper, a whisper of peat, with nutty oak, and caramel lingering.
