Nose: Rich and smoky with notes of ripe apples - like an apple orchard ablaze. Hints of chocolate-covered caramel, creamy vanilla, and unsalted peanuts.

Taste: Full-bodied with a bold character. Ripe apples and robust wood smoke take center stage, perfectly mirroring the nose.

Finish: Medium long. The smoky apple sweetness persists, layered with playful fruitiness and a comforting warmth. Vanilla lingers, wrapping it all up in a cozy embrace.

Comment: A comforting dram for any occasion.
