Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

Brilliant amber/topaz color offers orange core flashes. Mature, biscuity, salty aromas are harmonious, roasted, candied, bittersweet, bakery-like. Tastes include baking spices, in particular, allspice plus more subtle notes of sea salt, wood smoke, smoked fish, peat, dark caramel. Finish is a banquet of varied, but integrated flavors.
