"Polished leather on the nose, with fruit cake, orange and cloves. Some brine in the background. The well rounded nose suggests full body. A palate of orange spice is very smooth, almost creamy. The quite long, satisfying finish remains on the front of the palate."

Dark copper color. Compact aromas caramelized whole nut, molasses, and spicy dried fruit chutney follow through on a very soft entry to a dry-yet-fruity, oily medium body with anise,brown sugar, and pepper spice notes. Finishes with an exotic peppercorn, roasted grain, and cocoa accented fade. Elegant and deliciously styled. International Review of Spirits Award: Gold Medal
