Description
Aroma
The aroma is round and rich: plum, raisin, vanilla, cinnamon, oak spice and a soft chocolate note from double aging.
Taste
The palate is round and mature: plum, raisin, dark caramel, chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg, and soft oak. Compared to the 12- and 14-year-olds, it feels more velvety, sweet-spicy, and sherry-like in depth.
Aftertaste
Long, velvety and dried fruity-spicy, leaving a trail of raisins, plum, chocolate, cinnamon and soft oak warmth.
Advantages
A good balance of sweetness, spice and depth without being too heavy.
