Nose
nicely aromatic. A lot of sandalwood and sweet pipe tobacco (slightly vanilla'd), a bit of eucalyptus and chestnuts. Some fragrant touches, like old roses. Oranges. Chocolate fudge. Black prunes. Hints of damp wood as well.
Palate
spicy and slightly hot, but with a nice fruity sourness underneath. Black cherries, cinnamon cake, raisins in rum. Becomes drier over time, showing liquorice, pepper, ginger and leather. A bit of herbal bitterness (cough syrup) towards the end, as well as traces of smoke.
Finish
long, with forest fruits and plenty of spices.
