Golden color, clear, with high viscosity. Nose is delicate, with no smoke, and aromas of honey, butter scotch, raisins, vanilla, and dried fruit. Palate is rich and round, dominated by sweetness, with full body, and a creamy, velvety texture. Finish is rather short, but very pleasant and light, with a hint of meadow flowers. Doesn't need water as it's fully opened right out of the bottle. Overall, an excellent expression of a very fine brand.
