Nose: Honey, Vanilla, sweet malty, spice, Almonds, Cinnamon, ripe fruits, rich Cherries, Plums and Oak wood.
Palate: Smooth. Layer upon layer of sweet, creamy malt, Vanilla, ripe fruits, syrupy Caramel, spice and crisp Oak.
Finish: Malty to start with a long-lasting sweet spice, malt and fruity finish.
