Nose

Has complexity and maturity. Full pot still weight, lush and oily with rye, stewed apple, malt loaf, burnt raisin, cooked pear, vanilla pod, dubbin, cocoa.

Palate

Slides into the mouth. A good firm structure with light wood then semi-dried fruits and peels.

Finish

Refreshingly crisp. Big and fruity.

Comment

Big-boned, but the most restrained of the big boys.
