Nose

A blast of burnt sugar, with resinous notes, dried figs, some dried ginger\rand a wisp of musty corks.

Palate

Woody on the first sip, with emerging notes of clove, aromatic liquorice, juicy\rraisin and malt extract.

Finish

Dry, spicy with a touch of toasted rye bread and rare steak.

Comment

Staying just on the right side of the wood, this has plenty of sizzle left in it,\rwith some rather nice dry spiced notes.
