The nose is sweet of dark brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, a little bit of oak and has a slightly grassy and lemony quality to it. The palate starts off peppery and slightly dry and grassy, with salted popcorn, vanilla, cinnamon, dark brown sugar, hints of cooked caramel, cocoa powder and honey. The finish is medium long with fading pepper, cocoa powder and cinnamon balanced by vanilla and oak, while the sweetness fades. Very drinkable for cask strength, but could do with a bit more aging.
