AROMA: Opens with ripe gooseberries, fresh pineapple and mango; sweet red apple, plump green grapes and even a hint of peach, carnations, mimosa and mint, with the sweetest vanilla notes are emerging with hints of spicy bourbon and a touch of toasted oak
TASTE: Great structure; firm, muscular and more complex than expected. Several layers of flavor are melding into a barley sugar and oak mellowed texture while drifting over sweet kiln-dried barley
FINISH: Long, complex finish with notes of candied almonds, hints of toffee apple, nougat wafers, banana, ginger biscuits and sherried sponge
