- Nose
- quite exceptional. It's remarkably fruity and tropical (mango and passion fruits, plums, hints of raspberry and melon) and full of oak polish and waxed leather. Cinnamon and tobacco. Something slightly fragrant (bergamot and rose petals). A bit of mint. It has an Irish side, something American as well, but it's clearly oriental too. Intruiging and highly seductive.
- Palate
- again this lovely mix of mango / guava / passion fruit with fragrant bergamot. Strawberries. Something lightly rummy. Old cognac too. Very creamy and rounded considering the age. Just some exotic spices from the oak (cinnamon, soft pepper, cardamom) and a hint of citrus green tea. Maybe some light wood smoke in the background?
- Finish
- medium long and rather light, but fresh with the fruity green tea and mint in the lead.
