Nose: Solvent, oranges and orange oil or zest. A bit metallic. Vanilla, sharp leather or resin, maybe some green apple. Palate: Grainy, malty and sweet up front in a nice balance, and a little spicy. Hollows out in the middle but has nice orangey flavour on the back of the palate. Vanilla and light honey too. Slightly smoky? There’s a very faint earthy smoke to it that fleshes it out and is really nice. Some nuttiness now and again, almost a sherry note. Brown sugar. Melted butter note from MoM is definitely there. Finish: Caramel, a little nutty and oaky. Brown sugar. Overall: very nice, has that baking cupboard smell and taste to it that I really like. Feels very well balanced after it’s opened up a bit - not too heavy on the vanilla and sugar notes, has enough spice, zest and herbal notes in it to lift it up and stop it from getting cloying. 3.75/4
