Has a strong barley quality to the initial smell, that somewhat masks the vanilla and honey. Also getting apple and pear on the first smell. No smokiness at all. After it’s had some time to breath, the vanilla and caramel flavors shine through. Taste had a oak woody quality, with spice and a moderate-strong alcoholic finish. But like the nose, this improves with time. Taste becomes quite light and airy. Sweet apple.
