Nose

Slick and fruity (toffee apple), becoming buttery with water. Malt, nuts, sesame oil and some sherried notes. Plenty going on.

Palate

Rounded and soft with a burst of spiciness mid-palate. There's some smoke as well. Complex and soft with excellent balance.

Finish

Dry, a little short?

Comment

Strikes an excellent balance between those spicy high tones and a sweet but nutty palate. A little slick.
