- Nose
- Straw and malt aromas with metallic pear-like notes, muted fruitiness, cider apples, lemon drops, orange peel, and a hint of unfreshness. Also light and grassy with stewed banana, grain fields, honey, and some alcohol prickle.
- Palate
- Big malty sweetness with cereal notes, oranges, vanilla cream, and hints of dry, bitterish herbs and cardboard. Light-bodied, creamy, peppery, with acerbic flavor, banana, honey, lime, custard, and subtle spicy notes from sherry casks, balanced by vanilla from bourbon casks.
- Finish
- Medium length with spices and caramel. Mouth-watering with vanilla, then abruptly ending. Notes of lime, digestives, custard, honey, milky chocolate, light beef crisps, grassy, toffee, and paprika. Lingering and mellow with sweet salty notes.
