Appearance: Mahogany and almost oily. Aroma: Earthy, root-cellar, honeyed apple bouquet (unusually fresh) with lovely complexity. Quite floral, honeysuckle and butterscotch mingling with hints of whiskey, oak, and vanilla. Taste: Quite crisp, frisky and slightly mid-palate. "Scotchy" and a little nutty rancio with sherry butterscotch and red-apple skin. Spicy and a little feisty. Finish: Oily with lots of legs. Hangs in on the tongue for ages with a racy back end finish.
