Nose: The nose is fresh and vibrant; a delightful combination of classic dried fruits, vanilla essence, along with spiced-wood aromas. A touch of butterscotch and orange zest with light peat in the background.

Palate: Palate is dominated by warm and rich sherry sweetness, prunes and apricots primarily, with hints of European oak, nutmeg, white pepper and muscovado sugar. Over time, a subtle touch of tobacco leaf and green tea emerges.

Finish: Lingering sweet and spicy notes with a delicate smoky twist towards the end.
