Sweet, cooked brown sugars, vanilla and bit of light red fruit on the nose. Sometimes I get wine-gum candies on the nose. The palate brings in some rye, oak, and a little youth burn to the caramel and toffee mix. Red wine influence comes back on the palate for me too. The flavours are strong, but it is youthful and costs more than I want to spend on a young NAS release. Thankfully less sweet than some Canadians.
