Nose

Dense and a little unyielding to begin with, possibly due to the chunk American oak. A touch of gentle spice, toffee and fragrant honey appears but that oak is far \ntoo dominant.

Palate

Dense and oaked. The oak has hobnail boots and stamps all over the palate. Maybe a touch of soft spice and honey can be detected, but I can’t see the wood for \nthe trees!

Finish

Medium length with a light spiciness and lingering oak.

Comment

All oak and no trousers!
