Neat start, improved with small water back. Nose: amazing nose, complex fruit bouquet, hints of caramel and that chocolatey Honey Nut Cheerios or toasted amaretto. Palate: excellent spice, super good complexity, red hot candy on front and tastes how fresh cut pine or hardwood smells - in a good way. Not much fruit, long finish, with light sweet level not overwhelming but stays thru the finish. Batch 01-2011, 8 years 6 months old
