Nose: Light citrus, dried fruits, toasted oak and vanilla. Notes of cigar box, sandal wood. Sugar cubes infused with bbq smoke and orange juice.
Taste: Medium to full bodied. Some pepper upfront, rich caramel, and fizzy citrus. Vanilla and ginger. Toasted oak - perhaps a whiff of smoke?
Finish: Medium to long finish. Appealing and warm spiciness that slowly fades out. Light fruitiness. Fizzy citrus and caramel in the end.
Comment: Very nice. ‘Nuff said!
