Nose
The aromas of well-aged grain permeate a pleasant is simplistic nose – Custard cream biscuits, pancake batter, roasted cereals and vanilla pods. Supporting this are deeper notes of milk chocolate and freshly ground coffee beans. There's plenty of sweetness here – a touch of honey, but also burnt sugars and molasses. Running throughout paint thinners and varnish – sharp, woody, but with plenty of oaky age.
Palate
A very syrupy texture that's leads to a weighty arrival packed full of flavour. Honey, golden syrup and caramel join vanilla and tonka beans, chocolate cake and coconut shavings. This sweetness is tempered by both an underlying acetone flavour and also some intense earthiness – mushrooms and forest mosses. In the back palate, an interesting sourness – balsamic, pepperiness and tart maize grains.
Finish
Long, with both coffee and tea and plenty of oak (which is neither tannic nor particularly drying). Again there's a syrupy and thick consistency which makes for a fulfilling end to proceedings.
