Nose: Mild and sweet wood smoke meets dried fruits and caramel pudding. Very sweet, approachable, and civilized. The alcohol is seamlessly integrated, making it feel far more mature than its 3-4 years.
Taste: Full-bodied with a rich and creamy character. Dry and smoky upfront, featuring soot and ashes, white pepper, ripe apples, mint, and vanilla.
Finish: Medium-long, with lingering smokiness and fruitiness—a balanced mix of ripe orchard fruits and dried fruits. A sophisticated minty coolness ties it all together.
Comment: A positive experience.
