Nose: Rich fruit and caramel, accompanied by soft vanilla. With time, the caramel takes on a darker, deeper character, while toasted oak adds a lovely warmth and richness.
Taste: Full bodied. Rich and peppery, with toasted oak taking centre stage. The oakiness is particularly appealing here, adding depth and character without becoming overpowering. Frickin' great, actually!
Finish: Medium to long. That wonderful oakiness just keeps on giving, without a hint of astringency. Quite sweet, but beautifully well behaved. The alcohol is very well integrated, allowing the rich sweetness and toasted oak to linger in perfect harmony.
Comment: Beautiful!
