Tasted neat in a glencairn. Pour is a light golden yellow. Very delicate nose, honey & florals & slight ethanol. Definite apples, light pears, dry grass. On the tongue this is sweet, creamy, creme brulee, toffee, slight white pepper. There are notes of oak barrel and lumberyard. The finish takes its time. Not a lot of spice, but a lot of glow. This is subtle & delicious.
