| Tawny brown, candied citrus and orange rind nose, touch woody on nose, smooth caramel palate with brandy snap notes and clean finish |
| salted caramel ( hints of VA?), great wood chip tone, theres depth on the palate with a well layered sweetness (baked pears, apple crumble, honey suckle) and without being too sticky |
| Mahogany, amber. Quite viscous. Pistachio, cheese rind and fruit cake. Some higher alcohol lift. Caramel and butterscotch with luscious fruit and alcohol warmth. Very sweet and luscious. |
| evident nail polish character with signs of VA on the nose -unfortunately-, easy to drink on the palate. |
