Aroma: Nice hefty richness weaved in with some dried fruits of black raisins, plums and dates. It's backed up by a creme sweetness - this classic dried fruits and cream aroma. More on old leatherbound books, a honeyed quality too with just a few scribbles of magic marker. It's velvety and pretty expressive. Taste: Medium-bodied sweetness - we've got caramel, little bit of spiciness, some soft peat to contrast with that. Touch of shoe polish, with also a light herbaceous mossy touch. The spice starts off unassuming but gradually builds into the finish. It's got a nice complexity here.

Nose
Big malty notes, soft brown sugar, vanilla toffee, blossom honey and a mild oaky spiciness.

Taste
Syrupy with a toffee sweetness, some citrusy notes of tangy orange peel, followed by oak vanilla and
a touch of cinnamon and ginger spices at the end.

Finish
Enduring gentle waves of vanilla and oak spices.
