Nose
Sweet and floral, very perfumy with fresh flowers, vanilla, pears, and plum liqueur. Hints of bergamot, honey, dark fruits, citrus, papaya, malt, buttered croissant, nuts, vanilla ice cream, fresh herbs, polished wood, ginger, and licorice. Lemon tart, rich lemon polish, and a slight curry powder in the background.
Palate
Oily, syrupy, and spicy with aniseed, cinnamon, white pepper, and vanilla. Creamy and bitter-sweet with notes of toffee, malt, dark fruits, nuts, oak, orange peel, bitter-lemon, honey, licorice, and cinnamon. Light, crisp, watery, and smooth with a malt-barley forward sweetness.
Finish
Spicy and peppery, creamy and bitter-sweet with butter biscuits, malt, oak, vanilla, dusty road, cigar tobacco, light pepper, licorice, and menthol. Drying citrus, lemon peel, and light clean malt. Medium to short.
