The Nose: Wet flint and damp forest floor fill the nostrils on first sniff, drops of pear creeping in with some fruit followed by dried oak. Oak softens slightly and becomes richer, light vanilla, caramel and mallow work beautifully together, leading to earthy spices and worn leather.

Palate: Oily and rich, the flavor fills the whole mouth, leather and liquorice dominate at the beginning, with aniseed close behind. Suddenly you are surprised by intense berry notes that are almost medicinal but still very calming. This is a complex mature dram that shifts effortlessly between spice, wood and fruit, it's earthy, rooty and utterly delicious.

Finish: Liquorice dominates the finish, it's warm, bold and spicy, oily yet deeply satisfying and enjoyable, undefinably autumnal, maybe wet leaves, maybe earth, just lovely.
