Nose
Medium Sweet, Malty, Waxy and a little Musty. I find Toasted Barley, Dried Fruit (Apricot and Raisins), Orange Peel, Honey, Salted Nuts, light Vanilla, Toffee, Grass, Fresh Herbs, Pencil Shavings, Pastry, Pepper and light Cinnamon. I also notice underneath it all a light Smoky note that somehow reminds me of Burnt Nut Shells. The Alcohol is not fully integrated. Uncomplicated Nose. Malt, Honey and Salt are the main drivers.
Palate
Slightly Thin delivery. Bitter-Sweet and Salty. I find Toasted Barley, Dried Fruit (Apricot and Raisins), Orange Peel, Resin, Wood Shavings, Vanilla, Tutti-Frutti Gum, Salted Nuts, Floral notes, Pepper, Mint and Licorice.
Finish
Middle-Long, a little Thin, Bitter Sweet and Malty with Toasted Barley, Salted Nuts, Orange Peel, Raisins, light Coconut, light Vanilla, Tutti-Frutti Gum, Toasted Oak, Pepper and Licorice.
