Nose

Estery with pineapple, apricot, tangerine and banana. Plenty of mentholated herbs, iodine and grainy oak follow. With time hints of dried fruit, liquorice and earth.

Palate

Soft and lightly honeyed with malt, barley and coffeed tannins. Woody on the middle with the mentholated herbs coming through along with iodine and salt.

Finish

Short. The combination of alcohol and tannins hammers the finish. Although it has a pleasant, lightly smoked after-taste.

Comment

Lovely nose. The oak has its wicked way with the palate.
