- Fuller than the aroma suggests, dried fruit (especially raisins), lingering peat smoke, noble oak structure, terrific fruit mix, hints of wood, resiny spices (cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg), more peat.
- Finish
- Long and layered, molasses, caramel, cloves, dried plums, classic wood maturity, a late hint of peat, fruity cornucopia, lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression.
