Nose: Again the Classic is noticeable here with the Bourbon cask impact of vanilla and honey, red fruits but with different style – this time it’s sweeter with dried apricots, prunes, sweet cinnamon, milk chocolate. There’s a constant honeyed freshness in the background. After a few minutes, more sherry influence with more red fruits sweetness and chocolate.

Palate: Spicy too but it’s accompanied with more sweetness to balance it. Honey, vanilla, white pepper, cinnamon, oak spice, milk chocolate, some dark chocolate nibbles, cinnamon and nutmeg, at the end it veers to some pleasant bitterness.

Finish: Medium length, chocolate, lingering spice and white pepper, honeyed dried red berries.
