On the nose it's sweet fruit with more pronounced char notes than any of the other 1792 offerings. On the palate it's rich and delightful. Spending 12yrs in the barrel leaves quite the impression, it starts out sweet, but the char takes over quickly and dominates, not unlike the German invasion of the Soviet Union. However, not like the Germans, it ends well with a nice long, warming finish. Big fan of this spending 12yrs in Stalag 1792.
