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: Rich toffee, apple, and baked pears, with chai spices, shine bright against an elegant backdrop of new leather.
Palate: A masterful balance of juicy apricots, dried fruits, seasoned oak and creamy vanilla custard.
Finish: Long and warming with chords of fresh cinnamon and nutmeg spices and raisins.
