Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

The dry, herbal, nearly delicate opening aroma is seductively tangy but after a few minutes of air contact it explodes into aromatic fireworks that include toffee, seared meat, new leather, lightly sweetened breakfast cereal, marshmallow, lanolin. The taste menu features deep flavors of toasted malt, sherry, fresh, new honey, black pepper, citrus rind. Finishes long, supple, gently fruity, succulent.
