Beautiful golden color. Nose is rich with oak, vanilla, sweet fruit and caramel notes. Pallet is complex with dried fruit, honey, nuts, more oak, and vanilla flavors. Aftertaste is long with hints of peach, raisins, Sherry, and citrus. A few drops of water opens up more fruit on the nose, and even further rounds the pallet. Overall complex, rich, fruit-dominated character, with nice 18-year old smoothness and clear oak notes from the cask.
