Nose

Malty and elegant. Rather simple and one-dimensional, but delightfully so.

Palate

Beautifully complex from the very start with delightful interplay between varying layers of malt and oak. Quite oaty and mealy.

Finish

Remains charmingly bittersweet with very soft vanilla.

Comment

Don't bother looking for cognac - you won't find it, just a delightful imperial.
