Deeper spices, older wood, a bit of tea, some dried fruit, clove and orange on the nose. The palate brings a delightful coating nature, some heat, malt, a bit of cinnamon or spice, oak, and vanilla. Perhaps a bit of smoke? The finish is drying, sweet, and asked for another sip. I have had this bottle before, but this time around, I am really enjoying it. A fantastic deal in Canada. If you see this on the shelf, I would do yourself a favour and pick it up.
