Nose: Spicy but smooth. Herbs and orange peel. Cinnamon and small hints of vanilla. Water adds more herbal and floral feel. Taste: Very salty, yet with some sweetness as well. Bitter with oak and dark chocolate. Nutty. Finish: Smooth, just like the nose, spicy and herbal. Nice warm feeling of gingerbread dough rises. Balance: Spicy, yet smooth, interesting dram. Suits better for my mouth, than Jura 10 yrs or Superstition, which are more heavy with spices.
