Aroma
Crisp red apple leads the introduction of yellow banana with the citrus zest of mandarin. The fruit merges with the ex bourbon barrel contribution of vanilla sweetness while the charred oak combines effortlessly with the pot still spices.
Taste
Not to contradict the aroma, succulent ripe fruits are to the fore slowly evolving through some peppery spices and settling in to a satisfying woodland character with hazelnuts representing the contribution of the best quality American oak.
Finish
Soft ripe fruit reluctantly gives way to the sweet nuttiness of American oak.
