Tasting Notes
Oliver KlimekColour: Bright amber - Nose: Raisins, madeira, honey, hints of rubber, orange zest, hints of nutmeg. - Palate: Minimal smoke, raisins, dried apricots, vanilla, caramel, hints of mutmeg and pepper. - Finish: Medium long, fruity and slightly spicy. - Overall: A very gentle but also very refined dram with that old fashioned “they don’t make them like this anymore” taste profile.
