Neat in a Glencarin glass, few drops water. Nose: Heat evident, medium dark fruit, Carmel/Vanilla ( almost Butterscotch for me ). 5-10 minutes after the last sip the change happened for me... residual with loads of smoke and vanilla tobacco ( Wife said Eileen's Dream ) Palate: plenty of Heat, full mouth feel. Big baking spices and oak. Mild fruit for me with long honey-cinnamon spicey finish. Definitely warms the chest.
