Aftertaste: Strawberry, quince, honey, cinnamon, walnut, cherry, butterscotch, mango, kiwi.
Aroma: young, with prominent alcohol, quite smoky and murky Taste: It burns intensely in the mouth, with a malty and spicy character. The body is light, leaving a peppery aftertaste; chocolate emerges after several sips. The finish is quite prolonged. Not an intricate dram.
A very substantial drink… a little sharp, but excellent for sipping slowly
A touch of cinnamon spice with some fruit notes.
