Nose

Lightly resinous (good age?) with baked fruits and lightly charred lift. A little shy. With water there's maple syrup/toffee apple and a touch of malt.

Palate

Immediately spicy,nutmeg to the fore. A thick caramel quality in the middle then a prick of orange zest. Tongue coating. Slightly fragile feel.

Finish

Soft and nutty.

Comment

Good, but for me just lacks the extra layer of complexity to lift it to the next level.
