Tasting Notes

Nose

Deep,with toffee,sealing wax/teak oil, some spice (cumin and coriander). Water exposes the oak.

Lots of cask activity. Digestive biscuit, macadamia.Sugar and black cherry shifting into tobacco. Lots of oak but a sweet spirit underneath. Has age.

Finish

A little dry,but I'm getting to like it.
