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.

Nose: Aromas of fruit, orange, toffee, lavender honey, and rose greet the nose.
Palate: The palate is sweet and peppery with a touch of nuttiness, cocoa, red pepper, and barley malt.
Finish: The finish is long with dark sugar, clove, ginger, and cinnamon.
