Nose: Warming and inviting at first sniff. Honey, sun-warmed oak, hints of perfume and polish in the back. With time a little fruity as well - apples and pears.

Taste: Medium body, and above medium sweetness. The sweetness is countered, and I would say almost neutered by a bitter notes of oranges and odd herbs. Some fruitiness here as well, perhaps a little citrus in addition to the apples and pears.

Finish: Medium long finish. A little oaky, floral and bitter-ish there. Certainly an element of perfume towards the end.

Comment: A decent dram, but nothing special, I’d say.
