Review and Tasting

Sampled on 29/05/2012

Appearance:

Clear, mid-dark golden with bright gold highlights.

Aroma:

Cigar box and lanolin with pear, rolling tobacco and faint desiccated coconut.

Taste:

Slightly sweet with tobacco, nubuck leather and prune fruit with lightly spiced mild oakyness.

Aftertaste:

Sweet lightly spiced, nubuck leather. Silky and easy but perhaps too easy for the cognoscente.
