Nose: Malt, milk chocolate, sun-warmed oak and white pepper. Ripe apples, with a distant whiff of rowan berries in the background. With time it turns creamier, fruitier and simply softer. Unsalted peanuts and memories of a 3 Musketeers chocolate bar complete the picture.

Taste: Full bodied and well balanced, with orchard fruits, creamy maltiness and soft spices. Ripe red apples and white pepper are followed by dried ginger, pencil shavings and sun-warmed oak.

Finish: Medium long, tending towards dry but still quite fruity. More oaky spices add structure, before rich caramel, nougat and unsalted peanuts round it all off.

Comment: Balanced fruit with nutty richness.
