Nose
Complex and expressive, with hints of peat, pleasing malty aromas, varied citrus notes (apple, apricot, pear, berries, lemon, orange), oak, leather, dried fruits, spices, vanilla, and an understated smokiness. Some mention incense, sandalwood, and candle waxiness.
Palate
Round, pleasant sweet spice, cereals, candied fruit notes (orange, Morello cherry), toffee, hazelnut, butterscotch, caramel, vanilla, and a creamy texture. Some describe it as meaty with a kick of spice and oak, evolving maltiness, and a light peat smoke that builds but doesn't dominate.
Finish
Long, smooth, elegant, with a touch of fruit and spice, bittersweet oak, cocoa, praline, charred wood, aniseed, citrus fruit, dried grass, and lingering sweetness and oak spice with a hint of smoke.
