NOSE: Mars bars, vanilla, cinnamon, wood, hints of dark fruits linger from sherry casks.
TASTE: Spicy cinnamon and rich, fresh orange, oily and smooth. Hints of peat come and go. Water brings out more creamy toffee.
FINISH: Lingering sweet spice and creamy, thick mouth feel.
OVERALL: Wonderful blend of everything: toffee, sherry, spice, and hints of peat. Like a variety of styles in one bottle, but the notes play around nicely between each other.
