Nosing: Apfel Nüsse Schokolade Gewürze Zimt Nelke Muskat

Taste: Gewürze Zimt Muskat Früchte , baked Apfel , Eiche Sherry Rosine Schokolade a nice mix of spices, baked apple, and richness of the sherry influences.

Finish: Schokolade Kuchen Eiche very well balanced finish of these flavors

Comment: Very well balanced, christmas-y flavors, a great example of how multiple casks can introduce layers into the taste.
