Tasted in a Canadian glencairn with a chip of ice Nose - caramel, honey roasted nuts, and a hint of leather and spice Palate - sweet up front, with a rich mouth feel followed by nuts and spice. Finish - long, lingering finish of oak and spice, but without the astringent tannic notes. The finish is really nice, probably the high point for me. Surprisingly smooth for the proof It wasn't especially complex, but it finishes on a high note.
