Nose

Rich syrupy sugar plum sweetness with deep, dark fruit character and prominent oak. Complex and inviting.

Palate

Raisined plum with granulated sugar sweetness on the surface, gentle licorice undertone, and moderate spice. Well-coated mouth feel with layered fruit notes.

Finish

Long, coating finish with persistent raisin and plum sweetness and subtle licorice spice lingering throughout.

Very good
A well-balanced 15-year-old expression with excellent depth of fruit character, restrained oak integration, and a satisfying coating finish.
