Nose: The nose features citrus, cedar, and honeysuckle as well as a nice balance of spicy oak.
Palate: The first sip is that of caramel and toasted oak before a multitude of notes from around the flavor wheel show up on the palate.
Finish: The finish showcases an enduring duel between sweet and spicy notes as citrus, florals, and sweet oak tussle with dry cocoa, cinnamon, and spicy oak.

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.
