Nose: Apples and honey, accompanied by a mild, gentle smokiness. Hints of figs and chocolate add a richer, darker dimension. With time, soft spices and toasted oak emerge.
Taste: Medium-bodied. Dried fruits and demerara sugar provide a rich, mellow sweetness, nicely complemented by cinnamon and a hint of ginger. Softly spiced and pleasantly warming.
Finish: Medium-long. More dried fruits and cinnamon, with honey adding a gentle sweetness. The spiciness remains soft and well behaved, while a pinch of sea salt towards the end brings a subtle maritime twist.
Comment: Mellow.
