Nosing:
A complex harmony of fresh fruits and spices. Initial spicy oak notes follow vibrant vanilla and rich dried fruit.
Taste:
Rich and sweet vanilla with a silky texture and elegant hints of fruit. Deeper and richer with time and a subtle nutty character emerges
Finish:
Nuttiness develops into a spicy oak finish.

Comment: a surprisingly good dram. excellent quality/price ratio! I'm usually more a sherry guy but this was sweet all over. Could see this becoming a daily drinker, especially for the price!

Comment:
I've had this bottle open for over a year, it seems to have changed a bit over time, used to smell more oaky, now it's more of a savory sweet banana vanilla thing. The taste is very very oaky, they ain't lyin'. Quite bitter. Overall good, and serves as an interesting and different alternative to the 15 YO. I'd enjoy more complexity however, the oak really masks any other stuff that could've been there.
