    Appearance
    Dark and foreboding
     
    Nose
    The nose opens with a freshly cut wood quality and runs to warm butterscotch, brandy snaps and macerated oranges.
     
    Palate
    The palate carries a dried fruit element and develops to an antique oak style with a rich, warming and mouth-coatingingly spiced character.
     
    Finish
    With the long finish comes a discovery of a rich chocolate and dark cherry, still spicy and running drier towards the end.
