Nose
More wood oils and a general aroma reminiscent of a cooperage: sawdust, oil, grease, woodsmoke. Decent age on this. Cedar, incense with vestiges of smoke and herbs. Pagan. Impressive and charming. Vanilla oak, ginger, hint of mild cheese and a little spent fireworks and wood burning ash - fireplace style. Some fresh outdoors notes as well, wet forest - all covered in sweetness.
Palate
Smoke surrounded by acacia-like woodiness. Quite firm but enough rich sweetness to hold the wood in balance. Layered black and semi dried fruits. Thick with an animalic edge to it. Better with water. Extremely rich and very balanced in flavour. Musty, American oak cask sherry style, sandalwood, mushroom, herbal notes, sage and fennel, ginger, some orange and a slight spicy edge.
Finish
Brazil nut. Elegant long-lasting aftertaste.
