The curtains role back in the theatre, the smell of leather varnish and moth balls in the air. The upholstery’s Smells of lint and dust. On the nose: Leather and Oak. Smells of cinnamon and some fruit. I pick up faint apple. On the palate: some cinnamon makes an appearance with vanilla. Oak fills the mouth faintly before a zest of spice strikes. It happens rather quickly, and unfortunately in my opinion overpowers and then you are left with leather and a short finish. Similar to its 12 year old sibling, there are faint flavours to discover - very faint. The finish: it’s short. The Cinnamon and spice is constant but drops suddenly on the finish. I don’t taste anything after. This bottle is like having an old cinnamon heart candy. If you enjoy them you will like this! For me it’s a step up from the 12, but not as good as other in the lineup.
