Nose: fruity, orchard fruits, honey crisp apple, honey, malt, light citrus, orange, tangerine, cinnamon bark note, autumnal hay-like notes, woody spices, rich nose overall, few drops of water open up the malt sweetness some, hint of vanilla hides in the background tries to pop out. Taste: orchard fruits, blend of citrusy notes, lemon, has a nice oily coating feel- gives it a fullness on the palette, transitions to a peppery note, light ashy barrel spice, malt sweetness does show back up in the finish (as suggested) and compliments the spice notes very nicely, slightest hint of a leather note (maybe?), a good medium to long finish overall. Very good for the price point, really enjoyed this one a lot. I would definitely get it again.
