Nose: There are intense toffee apple notes on the nose with a hint of oatmeal.
Palate: These notes then combine with a viscous spicy feel and sweet dates.
Finish: Finish is long and elegant, with touches of plums, strawberry jam and baking spices.

Nose: Brisk, sharp, and brittle. Complex and excellent; the astonishing balance between sweet and dry. Firmer, drier notes from soft vanillins and crisp grape; sweeter, nuttier ones from malted barley, and cask wood.
Palate: Dry, after early biscuity-sweetness. The enormous malt character contrasts with the thin fruitiness of the grape.
Finish: Very long, dry, oaky. Very faint peppery notes and spice.
