TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, medium copper/bronze color. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of maple syrup, cereal, almonds, and black tea with supporting notes of oak, maple syrup, baking spices, and dried fruits. The palate is in substantial agreement with the nose delivering a maple syrup-driven core with flavors of maple syrup, baking spices, brown sugar, treacle, sultanas, cigar box, and charred oak. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and nicely balanced with a silky texture.
