Nose: Dried fruits and ripe apples, followed by cigar box and leather. Then follows a juicier fruitiness and caramel notes, with rich malt and pencil shavings developing over time.

Taste: Full bodied. Strawberries and vanilla mingle with leather and rich malt, backed by white pepper and ginger.

Finish: Medium to long finish. The spices initially build before relenting, leaving behind a delightful creamy fruitiness. Dried apricot and melon linger, with a final whiff of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Comment: Rich fruit with elegant spice.
