Nose: not broad but surprisingly pleasant with orchard fruits, honey, brown sugar, a light peat, ocean sea salt air, toasted nuttiness, hint of a sherry finish. Palate: fruity, honey, baking spices, hint of chocolate (more on the finish), oak, peaty and barrel ashiness, mild peppery barrel spices, somewhat short finish. For a very friendly budget blend, this is actually quite pleasant. The nose may not be complicated or impressive, but the palate is actually better than it noses. A fun little find.
