Nose: A complex spicy and fruity aroma with toasted wood notes evident.
Palate: Full flavoured and complex; silky smooth with a harmonious balance of spicy, fruity, sherry and toasted notes.
Finish: Satisfyingly long, the complex flavours linger on the palate.

Nose: Richer colours. Broad and medium-weight with citrus peels, ginger snap biscuits. Sweet and with great depth. Apricot aromas develop then drift towards fruit salad. After a short time, the wood comes to the fore and water helps to release baked fruit.
Palate: A complicated palate where the initial nose would lead you to expect plump fruits, but what you get is a surprisingly dry element. Adding water will bring out the caramelised elements, balanced with the wood elements expected of a 15 year old.
Finish: Firm and slightly dry, with warming spice.
