The nose has hay, caramel and a hint of sherbet lemon. The mouthfeel is decent with no cling. The body has sherbet lemon, caramel, cinnamon, and maple syrup. The finish has sherbet lemon and cinnamon.
Water brings out decent whorling that settles quickly into a brief mottling. The nose gains more lemon and some lime, and loses the hay. The body gains mango, kiwi fruit, and lime. There's also toffee and some hints of tobacco. The finish gains kiwi fruit and a hint of tobacco.
A very fine dram - for summer afternoon with friends.
4.5/5
