Nose: Malt, caramel and dried fruits. Wafts of polish and new leather in the background. Some citrus - lemon I think.
Taste: Bountiful in character. Lots of sugary sweetness, as well as butterscotch. Apples covered in white pepper.
Finish: Medium long finish. Dries up a bit, but remains fruity throughout. The pepper is ever present. Ginger, creamy vanilla and cut grass towards the end.
Comment: Strangely sweet and sweetly strange.
Score 86/100
